I read the title of the thread before even clicking on it and the first thought through my head was, "Well there's a surprise...".

Nice kill. What's the setup on your car? I'm very interested in going with the Dominator 2 cam from Rapid Motorsports because I see nothing but ridiculous results from it.

I have the Dominator 2.. It's a Rapid Motorsports cam. It's nasty and runs perfect on the street, in traffic, etc. I'm still running the LS1 intake/stock unported TB.

Can't say I understand the point of the finger. If it's that upsetting to lose, then don't race.

Nice kill, that guy was a dick. Just speculating, I'm guessing his car would be trapping in the mid 120s depending on boost (obviously) but assuming he was on pump gas. How about your trap speeds on the spray? How big of a shot?

Awesome! You ran a stage 2 GTR, with about another 70-100awhp. Good run and way to show these over-hyped turds what happens in the real world, not in a fixed magazine comparison.

With that power plus a 100 shot the OP should be trapping mid 120s without a problem. On motor he should be hitting 116-117 anyways at an average track.

Supposedly Nissan has made changes to the drivetrain for the new year model. That's the word on the internet anyways. Take it as you will.

The converter is custom built and was designed to be used for the spray so it doesn't hurt, lol.

Maybe I am misinformed, but I understood that the ECU's on the GTR where still not unlocked... "Custom Tuned" sounds hard to do with that being the case... not to mention how little exhaust will help that car.

Regardless, great kill brother. Represent!
