Default Notch vs. Z28

The other night me and one of my friends was leaving InNOut burger when a Z28 revved at me so i turn my car towards him. When get by him and 3 of his other friends, i ask him what he has and he says stock and he and his friends laugh so i tell him that im stock also, haha. So he was like you want to run em? Im like sure but lets go at a roll and he was like sure. (I had to because i was on my street tires and dont catch traction for ****. So he jumps in his car with one of his friends and the others jump in a truck and we get onto the freeway. Well were going about 60 and i yell out you jump and ill follow. So he jumps and so i floor it and start pulling bus lengths on him. By the time i hit 135 i had to have about 15+ cars on him and im not joking. So when we pull back over again he was like wtf you have and i said laughing stock haha . So then i tell him 331 stroker w/ Novi 3000 s/c. I then find out he had a lid, headers, exhaust and it was a 01. He gave me props and i headed back out to my house. BTW my car should be doing about 9.4-9.6 now. :

Good kill!

One thing........
If you are throwing some 700+ hp to the ground on a lightened and caged (I'm guessing?) car and you beat a guy with bolt-ons who is maybe putting 300+ hp to the ground, should you really be bragging? I don't think I'd run the risk of racing and getting a ticket on the streets with that big of a power difference.
On the other hand, it's good to teach some punks a lesson every now and then. Any pics of your car or build? What compression are you running in your motor and who did you get the block from?

Well at first i didnt know what he had, and im pretty sure if he at first knew what i had he wouldnt wanted to race me. Anyways i have a Dart 331 with JE 8.5:1 pistons, Eagle forged crank (3.25" throw), Eagle forged H-beam rods(5.4" w/ L-19 bolts), Comp cam hydralic roller(.544/.576) TEA stage 3 twisted wedge heads, and Novi 3000 s/c. There is a whole lote more, but this is the main stuff. But yah your right draven94, it is lightened and caged.

Good kill! You definitally have a nasty car there.

draven94, I never got the impression that he was overly bragging or that the other guy was a punk. Just an observation.

Q: What types of superchargers does Paxton Automotive manufacturer?

A: Paxton Automotive manufactures 6 different centrifugal superchargers. The NOVI family is Paxton Automotive's high performance line of gear driven superchargers. The NOVI line includes the NOVI-1000, the NOVI-1000RR, the NOVI-2000, the NOVI-2000RR and the NOVI-3000. The NOVI superchargers represent the highest level of quality and performance available in any centrifugal supercharger. The drive element consists of a helical-cut gear (40% wider than the competition) and shaft combination cut from a billet piece of steel. This results in quiet operation and unsurpassed durability. With a wide variety to choose from, a NOVI supercharger fits your needs from a 200 horsepower 4-cylinder engine to a 1,700 horsepower V-8.

The SN-"Classic" is a modern day version of the original Paxton Supercharger dating back to the 1960s. The supercharger has transformed over the years and variations have carried the following names: SN-60, SN-89, SN-92, SN-93, VR4, NOVI-GSS and the SN-2000. The supercharger utilizes a unique "ball drive" internal mechanism that provides 5-6 pounds of boost pressure with a completely silent operation.
2000 is on the left and a 3000 on the right.

Well you should at least get the impression that posting in a section titled: Street Racing & Kill Stories definitely has an air of bragging about it. Nothing wrong with being proud of one's car.

Anyhow, it sounds like a great build!

No problem man. Thanks for the compliment. Good luck on running the times your shooting for .

I'm looking for somewhere around your Novi 2000's times once the tracks open back up. Haven't had a real tire on it any of the times I've been out.

If I pulled alot of weight she'd really be moving. Haven't gotten it on the scales but she's gotta be 38-3900+ lbs with me (255lbs) in it. Heavy azz pig .

It's probably not up there since it's more of a full out "race only" blower. Check the link:

Hey dont worry SSmokin01,i myself weigh 240, so i aint that small eithier myself, But yah my car only weighs in at 3000 lbs w/o driver. But the novi 2000 starts building boost pretty good earlier then wasnt enough for my car anymore, lol. Anyways i wish i still had my LS1, i totaled it when i crashed going 65mph. But i only built my notch for less than about $14k. Its fun when your at the track and people have like $40k z06's and your whooping the **** out of them, haha.

draven94, so when someone posts a loss in this section, are they bragging about it?
