That could be a variance of dynos. It's impressive, but not unheard of.

Damn. I wish I would have dynoed my car after mods, or at least taken it to the track more.

The G8's are very restrictive. My car dynoed 323whp with just NEP OTR cold air. Added the Kooks 1 7/8 LT's, 3" exhaust, pypes violator mufflers, UDP, changed my cold air from NEP OTR to a Vararam and it made 377whp. The changing of cold airs actually picked up about 7whp difference.

That's about the path I want to take with this car and right where I want to be time wise. What kind of mph on the 75 shot?

I'm thinking a 75 shot and a 15 pound bottle should make for alot of runs on the spray Plus it's always easy to bump the jetting for faster cars.
The hubs on the diffs are the same. Maybe I worded it weird.

I will have to see if I still have my slips some where. I think they are posted in my garage on GRRRR8.

EDIT. With the 75 shot it was 12.1@115. That was no tuning for the shot. I also did not spray 1st gear as the track didn't have best track prep as is.

115 traps are nice, especially considering that was spraying 2nd gear on. You can get alot of great races and beat alot of cars with you're at that level.

Good races - surprised the ws6 fell back like that. is that alfred?

i really think thats the kid i saw last yr on the pike that had "import killer" on his windshield (same white hood, and color, etc) - he gave me the stank eye.. he then tried to give it some gas by me. I was in the turbo Si at the time, i nailed it and blew off at his window. He then chilled out lol

Great runs. When I was in the Mustang he told me the motor was built for a blower but he hasn't been able to buy one yet cause they're so expensive. He drove really well, just made me laugh when he was shady about telling me his actual setup and then the real fast honks put it over the edge.

No, his car is toast. Some other kid, I think he just got it. I think after I put a couple cars on him he gave up.

The important parts of the WS6 should live on with any luck. He might want to keep quiet on the specifics for now though
