Default Ran a quick Z28

As I turned onto a road earlier I saw a clean looking black Z28 at the light. I slowed down waiting for him to catch up. Unfortunately once he did we didn't have any room. He got in the turning lane and I followed. While at the light I noticed he had dumps, some 315s out back and what I thought sounded like a cam.

Once green I pulled up next to him. He jumped first and I hit soon afterwards. I pulled about three cars on him and shut it down. I was surprised how well he kept up as I didn't pull as hard as I thought. My bottle pressure was only at alittle over 800 but regardless, his car was quick.

I'd love it if it were the "cammer." Unfortunately its just a 2v stroker. I actually wish I would have went witht he 324 but didn't find out about them till it was too late. These 2v really suck na and need all the help they can get

How much hp are you making with your setup? My old school 302 is "supposed" to put 290rwhp/rwtq down. Whether it does so or not, I dont know, but it does move out way better than my friends 03 A4 GT. Moves out better from a roll in 4th gear than a S2000 giving its all, so 290 seems about right, those weigh 700lbs less and produce about 90hp less, plus I had a full tank and a passenger which more than made up the other 200lbs needed to have =power/weight and he was skinny as hell and alone, so me BARELY pulling him in 1:1 from 55-95 with him redlining away sounds about right for 290rwhp.
