Default 98 TA vs. 98 TA vids.....cam vs. bottle

here is a couple vids of me and my friend running....he has a black 1998 TA with a forged 347, longtubes, ORY, FM catback a pretty big cam, lid, spec, 100 shot(not used in the vids) and some suspension work. mine is the white TA....my mods are 3.73s, longtubes, ORY, lm catback, a few suspension mods and a wet 100 shot.

in the first vid its me vs him, NA vs. NA....

second vid i sprayed in first gear

earlier in the night i beat a 99 TA with loyd elliot heads and an STS kit with a T67.....on the bottle i beat him twice pretty bad and the third time we ran my nitrous didnt hit in 3rd and 4th and he ended up pulling me. i didnt get those on tape but they were a lot of fun.

i have been having trouble with my nitrous, it will hit in 1st and 2nd and then do nothing sometimes....its weird, its very sporratic. i am gonna see if i can figure out what it is but hopefully more vids to come


just fyi, my friends TA is setup to handle a 250 shot of nitrous and once he gets it tuned that thing is going to be ridiculous.

you got a MUCH better launch the second run- plus using the spray you wiped the floor with him.

you should've ran na/na again with that type of launch, it probably would've been much closer.

i got a shitty launch on the first run, lol...he got a great launch. i launched at like 2500 rpms and then bogged, it was terrible, haha.

on the second vid he let me get the jump and then i sprayed at the top of 1st.....

he has the driver mod, lol.......driver mod for the win.

yeah he has a cam and milled heads but now he is on a tune he got from a local shop..not a very aggressive tune but he figures he is around 360-370 NA. I think i could come close to that with some tuning without a cam....but my car is running rich and has no tuning
