Default Formula vs Turbo Neon

Formula has torquer v2 and typical bolt ons. However has 2.73 gears matched with a th400 (2.48/1.48/1.00 ratios) and a 4k fuddle stall acting like a stock converter. I don't think i could spin the tires if i wanted to, lol

Neon is a buddy of mine, not an SRT-4. I believe the motor is forged. Car was later dyno tuned and went from 270ish? to 400 wheel horsepower.

damn man that stall sucks ***. what did you do, tell them you wanted a 4k stall for a blown 540ci bigblock? I'm biased a bit, but I'm thinking you should have stuck with a Yank.

1. Nice run, how far back was the skittle?

2. Was it 270'ish whp when you ran and then he upped the boost on the dyno?

3. At one point you said he stuck right with you on the video, but the passenger laughed so don't know if you were joking?

4. Oh yeah: 13 seconds of WOT and you couldn't crack 5mph? WTF?

In my LS1 lifetime I have had 2 Fuddle's and 1 Yank. The 98' Formula in my sig is the same car in the video. Just now it is H/C and an LQ9. The same crappy 4k fuddle stall netted a best 60ft of 1.74 and the Yank 4k I put in recently has gone a best of 1.54 and i still need to dial in the suspension (omg the tires spin lol)

1. The first race he missed a shift (funny how he is well into 3rd while im still ringing out first) Second race he was maybe a car behind my back bumper.

2. I don't remember exact details. I think the car was just roughly tuned by him for a couple years. I dont think he did anything too major but he had a tuner dyno tune the car and came away with a massive gain. (i think his traps went from 112ish to 124ish)

3. Well he was a lot closer than the first race lol. Too bad my buddy video taping decided to not film the race on the second run...

4. No speed sensor lol. this car trapped 112-113 in the 1/4 still in 2nd gear with a little room left.
