Default LS1 Camaro vs. built b16 w/ 50 trim

Alright guys, I know nothing about Honda's. A guy I work with is really into them, and mods them alot. I already ran his old stripped civic with a B16 t3/t4 at 15psi pretty bad, but he just bought a new one.

The car has a built B16 with 9.5:1 compression, 50 trim, unknown boost, stripped.

I have a 2000 SS Camaro, with long tubes, lid, free mods, TD's...

What is his car capable of? He is wanting to run for money, but I dont want to bet if he is going to rape me.

Yess sir he will beat you on the big end. A 45-60 mph roll he will win. I think you ay need alittle no2 bro. From a dig if you hook you should pull him but your going to need the spray for the big end.

my old mazda that I parted out was running 24psi on similar turbo and I know my car was heavier than that honda. and it was capable of low 11's if the trans would hold through 3rd gear

My S R T - 4 had that turbo on it and at 22 psi I pulled two cars on a 430 rwhp WS6 from about 60 mph. FWD though is going to suck *** for him. My car wouldnt get traction until somewhere in third gear.

Hm... Well I think hes running 17lbs right now. He wont race anything under a 40 roll..

But, I just got a MS3. If hes on 17 do you think it would be worth it to throw down about $200?

Not really. He's gonna go from where he has traction and get you pretty good if the car runs well with that turbo and that much boost.

Just tell him *****'s roll race or stroke his ego or something and get the dig run.

Spend the money on a little giggle gas if he won't.

People on here always talk about how strong their cars are up top for roll races (Mach 1 vs. F-body discussions come to mind), but yet go back to the "roll races suck" thing when they know they're gonna go against a car that will beat them. Pretty funny to me. Anyway OP, race him from a dig and his roll, just to see how you do.
