Please explain what happened when I didnt have a passenger in the car! I pulled you and vis versa. But you still need to understand about turbo cars. My egt's where running hot, thats why I was able to pull the first couple of times with the passenger in my car. I think if I had a tune, deleted my cats and had larger injectors so I could run 140-150mph without a problem, we would have seen different results.
The cobra has a pulley upgrade, tune, exhaust, header,etc... Me on the other hand, have NO TUNE, stock injectors, stock cats, and 8psi of boost. Plus you say I make 430, in actuality I make 416rwhp and 464 torque.
The person that was following us in the Jetta knows I had a exhaust manifold leak and only had one bolt connecting my turbo to the exhaust manifold.

You only posted the videos that you wanted the people to see. Look at the first video and you can clearly see that I walked you!
You are still not acknowledging the fact that I was not tuned and still have my cats on. That alone is another 50 or so hp. I'm not making any excuses, but the fact that my car runs lean top end I had to back off(ask your buddy). He even states that my car is faster than yours.
Please dont make this a money issue. I might have spent more on one item, but you have multiple upgrades. Basically all the upgrades minus your intake(cam,headers,intake,exhaust,cat delete pipes,etc...). I have yet to open the motor.

Well how about you run the deuce then. Unless you trap 133+ you would have made a snack for me.

Yeah I just read up on the excuses that are coming out in this thread. Mind you it's not as bad as when that ****** in the LT1 Camaro lost to a Acura CL, but it's pretty bad.
Just lick your wounds and race the same guy another day. I mean come on. I've lost soo many races people thought that I couldn't stand to win.

Sorry you sold the Neon you loved so much and bought a TA. Best of luck with that car to you.
Believe it or not I had 2 SRT-4's. I had a silver one that was awsome, 50 plus drag runs 300hp+ and not one problem.
Sold it for a STi, big mistake. Didn't think the car was worth the extra cash, so I sold it. And I got another SRT. This one must have been built on a Friday or was beat to **** by the previous owner. Because it had probs, so I got the T/A because it was cheap enough for me to finish school and you can't beat a v-8.

No, boost + no tune does not=BOOM as you say or else I wouldnt have videos to prove it. There are other factors that I took to oversee my engine functions(2 egt gauges and a wideband). Basically thats what an individual needs to tune.

But it's just something about these cars and when I drove it I had to have it.

25psi, I know im not gonna run with your cars, but if you wanna get some other turbo 350z's to run my SS thats cool, but it is gonna be power adder vs. power adder now, not my cam only motor vs boost. Let me know if you know anybody that might make for a good run.

Don't get me wrong, the 350 is a decent car for what it is, but you would have not been dissapointed with the vette.

It was not the powerband, becuase I make more torque than you past 3000rpm. I make 300ftlb at 2500rpm and 462 at 4000 rpm(I think it was).
Your vechicle does not weigh more than mine, with my passenger in the car. It is pretty much dead even.
The guy in the Jetta that was following us(the one that works at autobahn) can tell you how I only had 1 bolt on the turbo flange. So basically I was losing boost pressure.

The car was definately experiancing a major boost leak, and then on the other turbo it was missing 1 bolt. The car was definately not running at its full potential that night....just wait till we are done with the car then let him run whoever he wants and see the outcome, i assure u it will be much different.

You'll have to register to post.
25psi: I'd imagine the majority of guys planning to head there would LOVE to run your MR2. Hit them up for some races with that or your 350z.If you can whack any of the guys coming down I'll give you some respect.
Good luck and make sure you let us know if you guys agree to hook up with the Chicago boys.
