Had my first race and first death with my new set up. I picked a tough one for my first race. Hey, trial by fire.
My car: 02 camaro built 6-speed and stock rear. Engine is a 383 all forged with diamond 12.5:1 pistons, ms4, custom ported heads, fast 90/90, and all the other crap to go along with it. Texas Speed tune.
His (Tres) car: 1997 Lexus SC400 with a 2jz 6-speed swap. Built motor, head work, crower 272 cams, custom mani, custom turbo header, turbonetics gtk1000 76mm, and a bunch of other stuff. the day of the race he layed down 734hp at the wheels on 24lbs of boost.
Here are a few pics of his car and then the video. The race is at the 2:00 mark and stops around 2:24. it is the same race from two different angles. We ran from 40-145. There was about 3-4 cars in between us when we shut it down.
We agreed on round two after i finish my nitrous and get some dyno time. He knows he is in trouble after the nitrous is finished.

I like the vid! Lots of races other than just your's too haha. How much do you think you put down now? 734 is alot to go up against, kudos for only being 3-4 lengths behind!

I agree. Goes to show you how much more efficient the LS motors are. Ive beaten guys with 150 more hp than me. 3-4 lengths back is good, its not like he destroyed you. I wouldnt say you were killed, maybe just mangled. Lol.

Btw, high compression huh? Race gas only? Im at 12.3:1 but I run an E85/91 mix. Love to see stout n/a cars.

yep, 110 octane. going to run 116 when i spray 200 to it. i was very suprised when i kept up with him as well as i did. if i wouldnt have let him get the jump it may have been even closer. i would say by the "seat of the pants" i am pushin around 500whp. but, we will see in about a week when i dyno it. all i know is it should be a monster on a 200 shot. the torque is going to go through the roof.

Damn, 730 hp is ALOT to go against. I think you did great for what you had done at the time. Post some vids up when you get the nitrous running

well, anyone who knows anything about 2jz powered vehicles with six speeds would know that outcome. btp lsx ftmfw!
but seriously, i would probably get him in the quarter on motor. i bet he would run mid 11's but at like 135 or some crazy sh*t like that. but he really only roll races. his sweet spot is between 60-70 on up.

thanks! thats kind of how i looked at it. i really expected to loose by far more, but the old slomaro was very surprising. that was the first time i really got on it and stayed on it. hell, i just finished bolting up the fuel rails 4 hrs before the race!
