Default Dang my first death

ok friday night me and a friend head out to FM1960 to find some rice. well the night goes by and noone wants to race. about 2 or 3 in the morn i catch up to a either z or ss (98 +) with like a 4in cowl. so i ask for fun whats in their, he replies Head,cam,headers,corsa. so light turns green he just drives away. i speed pass him going under a underpass just to mess around. My friend fianlly convices me to run just for the hell of it. so i wait for him and another t/a to catch dead even with me. I yell 3 way to both. we are about at a 40-50 roll and me and the camero go but funny as yall prob wont give me credit for is that my programmer well it let me get 1/2 car to 1 car on him (my friend couldnt tell, and i wasnt going to look back i was in shock) so i have him for about 4 sec then im guessing his top end h/c kicks in and he starts gaining on me till he gets a full car in front of me and shuts down. we slow down from w/e speed and he ask if i had an auto. i say yes and say goodbye and turn around for home. this was my first death and really im not that depressed as i thouhgt i would be. thanks for reading.

Yes, the dynos on a stock engine put out 32 rwhp. this tuner tunes, shift points, stiffens the shift,higher rpm shift points, stuff like that that would be done over stock.

What does it do to give you an extra 32 RWHP?

Hell, I can't use my HPP3 tuning on my car, or it will pull timing and I'll lose horsepower. I just use mine for thermostat adjustment and shift points.

this one has the potential to get ugly... i raced my friend who had a c/lt's one time. i had a stock cam and lt's. i pulled on him right away like you said you did on him, but he caught up and passed me like you said that guy did to you. its different power levels and different rpm's man. the hpp3 doesnt have **** to do with it. sorry.
