Default Detoxx races in Mexico

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUqmdUGJQwc

All these runs were amongst friends. The run with me and the stock camaro was my friend wanting to race me and see how far he has to go. It also gives people a good idea of how a stock ls1 will do against a A4 cam only ls1. It was pretty good until I got traction.

Mod for mod not necessarily. Up thorugh 3rd in the auto and 4th in the M6 should be dead even. Converter and gear selection plays a part here. As converters do lose some efficiency up top, they also have shift extension, which an M6 doesnt. Shift extension makes a huge difference.

Detoxx, nice runs man, I like to see the stalled autos representin. If you ever make it up to N LA maybe we can shoot down the Mexico and get a couple runs in

Yours is tr224/ss3600/4.10s?
Mine is tr224/ss4k/3.73s

Should be a close race.

BTW, I dunno if the Mustang was having traction issues or what but it looked like when it hooked it was moving pretty damn good.

Mine is the F11 from Futral Motorsports (228/230) SS3600 and 3.23's. You probably know my friend Bud, if so he'll even tell you how it pulls for an auto. When he had his red goat with nitrous on it even was barely pulling away from me by a car or car 1/2. The mustang is pretty quick. The second run I had traction issues along with not hearing the horn and when I started catching him he was letting off. I'm gonna make up there one day and I'm down for some runs in Mexico.

I think he ran later that night but another camera captured it. It's stock and it's pretty quick.

Everyone always says that for an auto mine pulls hard especially on roll races.

Going from a previous 32oo stall to a Yank SS4k my car feels a lot faster. This converter is awesome. Hows your cam converter combo for lower rpm pulls? Does have any slightly dead areas where its waiting for the cams powerband to kick in? The reason I ask is the only Futral car I rode in didnt feel like it had ***** till 5k, and that was with 4.30 gears in an M6.

To be honest with you I don't feel any dead spots. Maybe it's because I had Allan match custom gring my can to match my converter or maybe it's his tuning but I love my setup.

It might have something to do w/ those 410's in an auto.

He stated he has 3.23s guys and yes it pulls very well from a roll which is always nice to see with an auto. I can't wait until your back up north here and hopefully I can catch that car in action.
