his car: 05 EVO 8, full bolt ons, AMS tune, boost controller set at 25lbs 330~ AWHP

my car: I/H/E and a cam, and a 2 year oild tune from speed inc 375whp



well last night my buddy brought out his evo, stock turbo car but mid 12's all day if he can drive it, and he can. the car 60fts a 1.6 like nothing. he was all pumped up to race me because im on a street tire with 10% tread and blah blah blah. either way i agreed because i wanted to see how bad id lose. first race i just spun to 6k in first and i got out of it because he was too far ahead. the second race i spun like a bitch the same way but i stayed in it just to see what happened, when i grabbed second i pulled up on him by a couple cars and stayed about 2 caras behind him all the way through the beginning of 4th gear, but i let off around 100~ or so. i was salty obviously so i had him run me from a 15 roll, just to see what would happen if i COULD hook up, from a 15 i pulled him through first, into second and into third. he ended up about ~2 cars behind me by the top of third when i let off, i saw a car turn down the road behind us and i got spooked.

 

Sounds like you need a tune-up and some tires. Do I understand correctly that you have intake, heads and exhaust? You should be able to handle him with some traction.

Good kill on the roll though.

 

yeah something doesn't make sense... ls6 intake, heads?, exhaust, cam = 375????

 

I agree. Should be closer to 475...especially with a decently-specd cam.

 

+3 to those numbers not adding up. What size cam and what heads you running?

 

you should've at least pulled him a little bit more than that with heads/cam. Get that car retuned...if I were you and lived close to SpeedInc, I would've done it already!

 

maybe he means headers and cam

 

Yeah... normally when people say "i/h/e," they are talking about intake/headers/exhaust. Honorable death OP

 

Key word is cam. LS1 heads are great from the factory. intake, head(ers), exhaust and cam should make 450+ with a decent tune. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

 

not with the stock heads with a good tune and a m6 id say 400-420

 

Not quite. A very aggressive cam, possibly 425. H/C yes you should make 450+. From what I've been reading on here, is where I got this information.

Most cams you should make 375-410 is what I hear. Of course with an intake and exhaust.

 

Yeah his numbers don't sound right. I'm at 427 with I/headers/cam and there are plenty of cams out there that are more aggresive than this one. An M6 should have no problems hitting 400 and with heads then 450 easy.

 

better tune and deff get some tires. that will change the outcome from a dig.

 

to clarify im on an ls6 intake manifold, a TR 224 112lsa cam, STOCK HEADS, lid an exhuast, also a 2 year old tune from speed inc. the car made 375whp 2 eyars ago, i think itll put out around 400 next tune.

 

This clarifies it completely. I thought you had aftermarket heads. 375 cam only with a 224 and ls6 intake is not out of the ordinary.

 

450rwhp is a little ambitious without heads and a decent sized cam.

 

Not to mention that adding more power without tires would not increase his chance from a dig.
On street tires, it takes me 2 gears to pull away from sti's, evo's and 3000gt's from a dig.
