Default Cannibalized!

So I meet up with a friend who has a 430whp H/C(is a 224/224), A4, 00- z28 on prostars. I have just put my weld draglites on and wanted to see if the car felt any faster.

1st race- He honks it off, I get out about a car on him and he comes flying past me around 100. My car felt weird, so I look down and I have my n20 armed and my bottle closed....so I was dumping fuel.

2nd race- I turn the arm switch off and he honks it again from a 30 roll. This time I really move out on him and I am a car out in 1st, shift to 2nd and pull another half car or so, shift to third and he stops my pull and gets back to my rear tire, shift to 4th at 110 or so and he comes around me at 115 I would say...I stay in it to maybe 120 and he almost a car out and pulling.

I was very impressed at how much my car picked up from just doing the drag rims, and even more so at how well I did against a car with ~80+ more whp! Next time we will see how his car does with less hp than mine (125 shot )

Good runs steez!

And a BIG THANKS TO MY BUDDY DAVE AT GENIUM in Pinellas Park! He helped me get the welds on dat dere catfeesh!

Good death. Seems like your car runs hella strong for the mods. What does his car trap? And what gears...those first couple gears seems like he is out of the power band if you pulled on him through 2 gears.

I think thats why you held him like you did...stock stall on a head and cam car. Even a 224/224, a stall would help him out ALOT.

Yeah no doubt......I still held him off past what I trap in the 1/4 so I was a happy camper

With a nice 3600 stall I'm sure he would say peace out a lot faster!
