Default Well 1 death and 1 kill sat. nite against same car TA vs cam TA

Well sat nite we all met up at the same place we always do never any cops or traffic. Well i was there in my pretty stock TA and there were nothing but a bunch of ricers there so i was dissapointed a lil. but finally i see a burnt orange color TA that sounds very good and had a lil lope to it. So i go and get in my TA and ask him if he wants to run and he's game. so we line up and do our burn outs we had everyone watching this race. Well we get ready to run i stall my auto up to bout 1500rpm and i hear the other guy revving his up ( he was an M6) well the guys drops his hands and i take off at the start with a lil spin and pull on this guy bout a car off the start and by the end he wasw pulling hard on me but he made it to my door before we finished so i won that one. well he asks if i wana go again so im like ya sure . well 2nd run we do our burn outs again, and line up, well the guys drops his hands and this time i only come out maybe 1/2 car on him but when my car went to shift from 1-2 it banged off the rev limiter and he pulled on around me and continued to pull to bout a car and 1/2 on me. After we finished i asked him what size cam he had and he told me a 226 and i couldn't believe that cam pulled that hard on top side it surprised me. So i ask him if he is on this site and he says ya and that his name is ws6 green come to find out hes a low 12 car WTF. these runs were off bottle they were all motor.
well the TA finally has a loss under its belt oh well you win some and you lose some.

If you have an A4...I think youd see more out of a good stall then a cam right now. You seem to have a good running ls1, I just hit 100k on mine last week...still running like a champ. Good runs though.

well LOL ive never raced against a car that had one, so i guess i just wasn't expecting him to just pull around me like that. i couldv'e just sprayed him and counted the cars i put on him but i liked the all motor runs.

The cam (pull) will be more noticable with the M6 ofcourse but it will still make an animal out of an A4. Just go with a big one, you dont want regrets. MY favorute cam was 233/239/605/605/113 TSP. I went through 4 different cams too. WIth a good tune, that thing idled NICE....since it was a 113, not 110 or 112. Good luck.
