Re: ws6 vs. corvette
ls1 with juice vs ls1 with exhaust, nice race...not
And what the hell is a "gogo" button?!? I have yet to see a nitrous setup with a button, except in fast and the furious, aka 'too slow, too gay'. Race him without the nitrous, then share the details. That would be a good race.

Re: ws6 vs. corvette
not a button its a little toggle switch or whatever you just flip it which you probably knew what i meant you just wanted to be a smartass
Re: ws6 vs. corvette Oh my God could this be a Bullit clone in Ls1 clothes?
I'm assuming he has a dry 100 shot ... which would need to be dynotuned.Question LSyoung ... do you have any kind of a/f ratio monitoring in your car at all, or are you just blindly spraying it? If your doing the latter, I would suggest you stop. You could be running really rich (not that bad) or really lean (boooooom). I wouldn't take the chance personally.
And lastly, what was your 60ft and trap speed on the 13.9 and the 13.1 passes?

Re: ws6 vs. corvette ill put it like this horible man about 2.1 on both and 99 on the 13.9 and 110 on the 13.1. No i do know a little about cars i did install my headers,plugs,wires, and the induction stuff by myself. My friend did the nitrous and the gears but no i dont have the money right now for realy any tuning. I have the nos 5177 kit and has the fuel safety switch so i rely on that and normaly wait til about 3500 to spray. didnt mean to **** anybody off if i did.

Re: ws6 vs. corvette Was this a C4? If this was a C5 something just doesn't sound right about this. My C5 with nothing more than a filter and an X-pipe for power adders ran consistently in the 13.2 range at about 109-110. This was with 60ft times of around 2.1-2.3 seconds. There a lot of C5's in the mid to upper 12's with just a filter (my launch stinks). The catback you mention isn't going to add anything on a C5, but if these were long tube headers the Vette should see about another 20+rwhp. So if you run a 13.1 on the juice and beat him by 3-5 car lengths, he's be running around 13.4-13.6. That's really slow for a C5 with headers. So either A) Your car is running alot stronger than you think it is B) This was a C4 with headers(times would be about right then) or C) this one of the worst drivers I've heard of in a C5. I don't doubt that you beat the guy. The numbers just aren't adding up.

Re: ws6 vs. corvette Well he says it is a kid in a Vette, so I'm guessing it isn't the geriatric driver syndrome. And I would expect that a factory dud with headers would pull at least as good as a normal car. I guess I'll just have to go with option C). This guy just flat out could not drive worth a darn.

Re: ws6 vs. corvette it is a c5 the vette pulls pretty good especialy up top but like yall said the kid isnt the best driver but he does alright. also that is something i cant figure im cutting crappy times but i have ran that corvette without the nitrous and a slightly modded ss and have won both times. i guess thats the street for you. theres a couple of cars around here that have quicker times then me but i beat them every time so maybe it was just crappy runs at the track or hot weather need to go back and see what happens
DAMN i just remembered i got the tape of that and a lot of other stuff but i have no idea how to host them or anything

Re: ws6 vs. corvette MaroKid if you read the thread he only pulls a 13.1 @ 110 WITH the nitrous shot. If he ran a low 13 without the bottle, there would be no confusion whatsoever. It just seems like the numbers don't add up here. But as the poster said that's the street I guess.
