LT1 vs 335i someone i know just got a twin turbo 335i and i was looking some stuff up online and they claim 300hp/300tq with a 13.6 in the quarter. im wondering how my car with the mods in sig would do against it. i figure some of you guys have encountered one of these by now and am curious how the lt1s compare. lets hear it

the car is new to him so i doubt he knows how to make the most of it. hes more worried about putting rims on it. 13.6 doesnt make sense to me either,neither does the hp/tq rating though. that same 3.0L made 255hp N/A. go figure...
im going to wait til after my header install to run him since i have a bad cat

I think they make some sort of comp chip that makes that thing 400hp/400trq which is sick..I drove one when they first came out and they are quick. I think he's gonna nab you from the dig...top end though is a different story. Try and take him up to 120-130 if you can cause thats when you will shine!

I would think that's backwards Elliott. I would assume from a dig that 355i would get taken till the turbos spool, and would have a higher top end (if gearing allows).

Verdad Gallardo Guess it all depends on the driver and the set up..a LT1 bird with bolt ons,gears etc etc got smoked by one off the line at the track last year and he then pulled on it towards the end

it will be a close race. the main thing about that car is that since it's a twin turbo, most drivers think the spool of twin turbos equal infinite power until redline. that's not true, however. stock, they are rated at 300hp@5800/300tq@5000, but redline at 7,000! a bad driver will try to run it all the way to 7K, and the power will be lost. a good driver won't try to hit the limiter and will use the turbos at maximum efficiency.
