That would all depend on if the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle was in effect. I've seen cars that are so fast that their molecules shift in time and space, and just walking near them is a health hazard.

On a totally unrelated note, you'll prolly walk him assuming you know how to drive.

Find out more about the car, but I doubt a Turbo II can keep up with a procharged SS. Unless its mine.

I'm guessing he has an LS1 in his RX7, hence his screen name. I could be on crack tho, so take that into consideration.

WTF is with people joining the site and starting SS versus RX7 threads all over the place. And how come the slowest SS Ive seen in them is like a mildly blown car with great bolt-ons?

Hey. My buddy has a T-78 turboed 408 90/90 with a Powerglide and 9 inch on MTs. Can he beat an NA 02 RX7 with a turbonator and K&N?

Dude lighten up a little bit. There are threads about LS1's versus anything and everything on this site. He just asked a question. And I think you shouldnt have a problem winning redsupersport. Good luck.

My bad. Yeah, he should be OK. But he would be well advised to see what kind of turbo and what kind of boost. Upgraded turbo can mean many things. And upgraded ECU might mean this guy knows what he is doing.

What sort of boost is the P1sc making? What heads?

Most of the turbo IIs I see online that are really modded are under 500WHP. Ive never really seen a mean one in person. They dont realy need much power what with the great chassis and weight, but your car probably has a serious power advantage. I would recomend a long race from a dig. Lots of high rev power and light weight is not easy to launch froma stop. And LS1s sound mean when your next to them and they are reving with a damn blower announcing its presense. Phychological weapons rock.

Thats good, because if your making 564WHP on 22 PSI on an LS1/LS2, theres some real heat being generated in there. That Lunatti might be able to hold up better.

I just dont know. Ive never seen any P1SC making 22PSI on a motor with your cubes. So I really dont know what you powerband looks like. Im way out of my depth here. Really.

Maybe if you could post a dyno sheet I could be able to tell better where you should go from.

I hear ya, that is like the 8th one in the last 2 weeks. Last one was like a 680 whp car. And I never hardly hear of RX-7's that fast, he said 500 whp in the last one. And then he said it was a 97, which they didn't make them. What the hell is up with all this ****?

Yeah, I might have an LS1. I don't know though, I'm on crack too.
