i think you will be so far ahead that when he grabs traction it will already be over.

Dude, he is on street tires. He will not hook up at all, even when he uses the nitrous, he wii just spin and spin and spin the tires. Just kill him out of the hole and don't let up. He will never be able to catch up.

Or he can spray in 2nd or 3rd....

If its really a 150shot it should move out good


And the poster never said if he was on street tires or not...


4.10 gear with a street tire= spin city!!!!

I would like to say that that year is a very light car... And 4 doors are lighter than the 2 doors... Just run him from the lowest roll he will go from, He won't have traction.. Specially since he will be hitting it with 150 shot... If He can drive the car i would say that car has mid-high 12 potentials from a roll, But who races from a roll?

Iam thinking that also, the b18 is a strong motor but a 150 shot is a lot to throw at it, I am a few days away from finishing my car, after a few break in miles and tune i will give him a run.
Maybe i will try to get him to run a sticky tire and make it a interesting race

Good deal let me know if you guys do go and Ill come to cheer you on. I hate ricers I hope you rape him. In the area we have two places that actually tune LT1's. Performance Specialties in Pottstown does using LT1Edit and Bill at Second Street Speed in Perkasie does also. He tuned my car with LT1Edit but last I was over there which was about 3 weeks ago he said he was going to buy TunerCats because he likes the program alot better and has been doing alot of LT1's recently so it would pay off for him.

Good so far the car is down to the block just waiting on everything to come, it has been sitting for so long now I cant stand it! Believe it or not I pulled the plug on the Ai setup and went LE2 because I ran into difficulty trying to reach them and got upset plus a couple other little things. I know either way I would be very happy in the end but Lloyd seemed a better fit for me personally when it was all said and done.

is he the typical ricer or does he actually know his stuff because most kids that drive cars like that are idiots! they usually launch at redline and smoke the tires sooo bad ....then use the revlimiter as a shift light and take about 5 minutes to shift.
