Default Turbo SS vs Two Bikes

Keep in mind I am lacking some power because I maxed out my MAF, fuel injectors and MAP sensor.

So anyway I am driving on the highway and I come up on two bikes. The first one is a 750cc We cruise at 65 mph and I brake boost. We take off and I start steadily pulling him. I put a few cars on him. He then points to his friend wanting me to race him. Well his friends bike is a 1000cc. I knew I was toast but I had to see how bad. We go from 65 again and I brake boost. We hit it at the same time. I am with him maybe for 2 seconds. He then proceeds to pull about 8-10 cars on me I pulled up gave him the thumbs up and went on my way. Now I just need to get the rest of my stuff fixed and retuned. I know I probably still wont hang with that bike but I bet it would be alot closer

Sweet, last time I raced a 750 he would always jump on me from a 65 roll because of wheel spin issues love reeling them in and passing them though

Get your issues fixed and it should be a monster

What I need to do is get some new E/T Streets - I was on 40% standard street radials last year, which was a large part of the problem.

Soon enough I will attack the bikes

Good job, anymore details on your car? I've had a decent race with a 600 from a roll, but I get WALKED by my buddy's 1000, kit or no kit lol

Not sure either...maybe he's hitting the brakes while doing 65 and giving it gas to try to help spool the turbo before he runs?

My car only put down 560/570. But ya I hit the brake and gave it gas to spool up the turbo. Got it to about 7lbs when we took off.

I would be happy to even be a contender. I can probably only hold off a 50cc LOL

lol that reminds me when my break switch was misadjusted last year and people were accusing me of breaking boost to get my car spooled from a roll.
