ya my "NHRA" T/A is my avatar

 

Thats a nice NHRA, i wish i had one...I dusted i stage 2 S R T 4 when i was stock, just get your launching down, those front wheel drives can launch a hell of a lot better than we can....but you usually pass them in 2nd, just make sure when you race him with your window is down, so when you pass him yell "LS1!!!"

 

....wow, just wow.

knowledge > you

 

what I meant was its sure a hell of a lot easier to launch a S R T 4 than a f-body. They can pretty much dump the clutch all the way and take off, we have to feel for it and find our cars sweet spot to have a good launch

 

awsome pic

 

Do you know any guys with those cars? Because thats not the case, and thats why they always want to go from a 40mph roll.

RWD > FWD in any kind of race form.....period. Drag race, road race, everything.

Peace,

is that why they dont get under a 2.4 60' at the track?

 

ya but AWD > ALL lol this kid with an 07 sti and his ****** studder box ****** gets these perfect *** launches and i raced him but my best launch was like only a car behind him and then we hit a red light and then i spun in place at that light....i raced him off a roll and he claimed he was in 4th????, lol we did a 10 or 20 mph roll.

 

He must have NOSed it. Any gear lower and he would have blown the welds on the intake.

 

LMAO!!!


AWD > ALL....not everywhere in racing, F1, top fuel dragsters, NASCAR, drifting (yuk), etc... lol


Peace,
Craig.

 

Yeah, one of my best friends has a yellow one, i always tease him how easy it is to launch his, its pretty much stock though. +1, they do always want to go from a roll because their turbo lag is gone

 

lol haha

 

224/228

 

I raced a turbo civic that had them all the way around!!!

 

That is funny. I think i will use that in the future!

 

First of all I'm a newbie to the ls1 world but have owned a SRT-4 for 2 years now. You guys are a little off on why the SRT-4s have a hard time launching. First of all there is no turbo lag on these cars, that is the problem, the power pours on fast and hard and the front tires spin with full boost in 1st gear and sometimes 2nd gear (so we have to stay at partial throttle/no boost). Also wheel hop can be horrible on mostly stock suspension cars. We have to get the car moving to aid in traction, otherwise we can't go into full boost without tire spin until a higher mph. So racing someone from a stand still will result in lack luster speed or tire spin.

That being said I'm looking at getting a camaro soon, got to love the rwd :-)

 

224 or 226 cam with a 114LSA.

 

a turbo civic has no reason to run them all the way around....... but ok

 

Ok, back on topic. I have a TR224/224 .563 112LSA. This is my daily driver. With the mods in sig (bolt ons), my car is making 387rwhp and 379rwtq. Great cam IMO!

 

Is there a maint req on that valvesprings?
I'm also looking for a DD cam that will give a good amount of H/p and no maint req.
