Hands down, the converter!

Converter is worth like 4-6 tenths.

Headers might be two tenths.

Off a light, I would footstall up to 2000, and roll out. feels like a 1.7 to me.

I can launch pretty dang well on the street with my rr tires. If you have good tires you won't just sit there and spin. The 15-20 hp the headers will give him will help more at high speeds, but anywhere else the converted car will have the advantage. Say 2 bone stock a4 ls1's raced. One has LT headers and one has a Vig 3200. Both have Nittos. If they raced from a stop or a roll up to 50-60 mph (but especially a stop), the converted car would be so far ahead by 110 that the race would have to go to insane speeds before the car with headers would pull ahead. I myself know a little about street racing. Been doing it since '83 <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Is it the TCI Sizzler you got? What happened to yea last night? We were pulling in and you were heading out? My buddy ran his GT. Damn either those things are slow as **** or he can't drive.

That sounds fair. Its the Super street fighter. Although it doesnt stall like one. If you decide you wanna do it just give me a holla.
I couldnt put up with the crowd and all the ricers. I just put that PI3600 in mine and without slicks she wouldnt hook. The best 60 I could muster on DR's was 2.1. That 3600 is Shnasty.

Later, Stu
