High school kids get a lesson (Jetta vs DSM)

I do think I'm going to get a new set of drag wheels eventually, and I really like the Weld S71 with the black spokes.
The funds aren't there for a build like this though, so I'll have to stick to my plan of fixing the rear and then see what route I want to take for more speed upgrades
This is one of the reasons for me selling the G8. I'm sick of having to save up for every single mod on the Z28 and I want to have the money freed up each paycheck to mod up faster.
)
I'd love to trap like 129ish on a 125 shot, and 131ish on a 150 shot. I've been thinking about doing a new cam since mine isn't optimized for the heads. Also, I have a FAST 90/90 intake ready to go on, but while some people gain 20 rwhp, some don't see any gains, so who knows if that will help or not.
LT/LS Guy, do you have any more pictures of your car? It looks sick in your sig with that wheel/tire combo!

lololol^
Yeah I wouldnt be here if it wasnt for these threads. It gets boring reading the same H/C LS1 vs Cam/Spray LS1. You'll notice all the non GM vs GM or nonGM vs nonGM threads get the most hits =).
Its also nice to see what the competition is like out there, and what to expect from different mods and setups.
And being a car guy, I respect everything thats fast and clean because it means the owner put time into something. Usually people who take their time to do things are generally cooler then the guys who just buy V6 mustangs and rebadge them as GT's for some reason (WTF IS WITH THAT TREND SERIOUSLY?)

Oh, I see. Yeah, I've only been seriously involved with the team for the past year or so....for some reason the name did seem familiar (probably heard him mentioned at a meeting or something) but without making that connection I didn't know, lol. Did you used to be part of the Formula team?

I'm gonna say this right now: Any one with any street legal vehicle is not only allowed but encouraged to post their race stories and videos up for everyone's enjoyment. I don't care if it's LSX/LTX, import, Ford, Mopar, exotics, bikes, old school muscle, or a freakin street legal dirtbike. I personally enjoy reading all of the race/kill stories I can regardless of make, model, engine type, number of wheels, etc, and I know the majority of the members we have here do, as well. This site may be focused on GM motors in terms of the tech-side of things, but in this section all are welcome. If you don't want to read a non-GM kill story, then don't click on the title that says "Jetta vs DSM" and then bitch about it. And I also don't care if it's a dig or roll race; they're both fun and they both have their purpose, so enough with this "dig or nothing" holier-than-thou bullshit.
I'm down anytime when it warms up. The bike is quick but it's far from unbeatable; just a lot tougher from 40mph than anywhere else unless you wanna go past 130mph where it really loses steam. We can try any rolls or digs you want, though. I honestly think 540whp in a car that weighs 3,000 pounds or less is enough to take me from just about anywhere if you can drive, or at least enough to make it very interesting.

I couldnt help it.
I didnt know so many ricers were so envious of LS equipped vehicles that they had to join the forum. I guess it helps them to dream about cars with real power and.......Torque....

Envious of the engine maybe. Not really the cars they put them into. Aside from a select few.

Thanks, DSM = Diamond Star Motors, the conglomerate between Mitsu, Plymouth and Eagle to build the 1st and 2nd Gen (1990-99) Eclipse, Laser, Talon. Galant VR-4s are also considered DSMs.
Of course the guy with the barely modded car has the biggest mouth.

Well if you think about this logically, your claiming 428hp out of your 4 cylinder, what are your torque numbers? How much modification have you done?
Like you said my car is very lightly modded, 350hp give or take at the flywheel from the factory, intake and cutout dont really do **** maybe 10-15hp so say 365hp, some ricer like you i stick the 150 jets in, granted that may not be at the wheels, i dont know how Harris rates their kits, so thats 515hp on spray and from what ive read the torque will be about the same, i dont really see a little 4 banger putting out over 500lbs of torque, but thats just me.
Now lets see your 4 banger make those numbers with next to nothing done to it, im proud that my "barely modded car" could lay the smackdown on your fully built car on a wheel dyno.
Now i have had my helping of rice boy mentality for the day.
And by the way the DSM thing was a joke.

Well this was just posted today. Aside from some headwork...
Evos with a boost controller/tune and e85 will do 400whp on stock everything.

I have no doubt there are hondas out there that can whip my ***, ive already had my *** handed to me by a hatch with a forged b18 on 25psi, i know what cars can smoke me and what ones cant, as soon as im forged and turbo'd with equal mods as guys like you ill gladly race for money, honda guys seem to think its fun to talk **** to stock guys when they have to go all forged and run huge amounts of boost to take down a stock V8.

Every time i see your black EX it makes me want to do a Honda build, i like the clean stock look, and the 500hp under the hood definantly sounds appealing.
How come honda guys dont do more H22 turbo swaps?

b/c u stock guys talk the most crap for no reason - so we give it right back 
but just some food for thought:
your full exhaust and intake pays for a swapped motor built and for the price of a cam i can get a turbo kit haha
so mod for mod id rather say dollar for dollar - just cheaper to build hondas.. keep in mind i have real world experience!
My good friend turboing his H22 swapped Del Sol - should be done in a week or 2, hope to have some videos to share
