Default Good Death tonight

Me and some friends were at a local GTG tonight hanging out trying to get into some racing.. Well on of my buds set up a race with a H/C FRC Vette putting down around 450rwhp.. Well tonight my car was in street trim so it had some extra weight in it and I was on street tires with a buddy riding shot run.. We go take off to run and do about a 60 bunch.. I am running my nitrous system btw.. And we were pretty much even up to around 100mph or so in and he started to pull on me but not to bad at all.. It was a good race.. He hit the breaks around 110mph do to traffic ahead and his rear bumper was at my front tires.. Now I think if we would have went to 120 he would have had a little over a car on me.. I got part of it on video bud only the last part of the race were he hit the breaks.. So I would say that, that was a good death..

Very nice. 9 out of 9 people die, and some guy always has a bit more power than any of us. You just hope you dont ever have to meet him. You did, but you did really well. Good job.

I'm still running the same 125 shot, but I have tweaked a few things with the tune and some other stuff.. My last dyno the car put down 465rwhp 540rwtq..

Very close.. I really don't go by my dyno numbers on the gas.. They change all the time.. It could be 435 rwhp one time and 465 the other.. I haven't been to the dyno one time were the numbers were the same as the previous time..

My numbers are consistent, I have varied +/- 3 Hp on different dynos and different conditions. Nonetheless wish I could have raced ya when I was in Arlington. Would have been fun. Do you go to Kennedale often??

My N/A numbers are right on everytime, its just the bottle.. It might just be the the amount of N20 in the bottle and pressure.. Most of the time its usually around 440 mark. Just this last time I had a little lean spike and it made the hp go up, then when it got fat again the power dropped off.. I try to go every other week.. My best out there is 7.100@96mph.. I changed a few things since then so I hope I can pull a 6.9 out of it.. I need some 28" tires for the bottle.. I have too much gear for the 26's I am running..

Here is my last dyno and you can see where it got a little lean and the power increased..

Cool, good track numbers, I really gotta get some sticky tires, a bit of suspension work and a little weight reduction done. I cant run from a dig for **** with the DSG3's, I can kick some *** roll racing though, lol.
