Right. Because you brake boosting your 4 banger is going to really yank a 408 in terms of throttle response and instant torque

Dont know, never have raced a 408. I have ran a few cam only and a few h/c LS1s and if I brake boost I can usually jump out on them. Do you break boost your Trans Am while on the highway?

to bad it didnt go like that lol
Lol, i like that one. I considered romping on it from the line....but i have this little problem called traction. street tires and cold weather dont work well. hooking from 60 is hard, let alone from a stop.

it would have looked worse if i had romped on it and he went by me cause i was just sitting there spinning. even from 30 when i did punch it i only went about 75% throttle. poor civic


oh, and he asked if i had done anything to it. if he couldnt tell i had obviously done something to it then i wasnt gonna tell him, i was going to show him

Thats true that is a pretty dumb question to ask if you had anything done to it.
