he doesn't need a tune if he is running in the 10s through the 1/8th stock, lol

no offense, and I mean this honestly, he needs to learn to drive better.... get more used to stock power, giving him 100 MORE ft-lbs of torque on stock tires isn't going to help him beat this focus guys..... its going to make things worse in trying to launch the car, which he is apparently terrible at

How many times do I have to tell you guys. I wasn't trying to launch the car. At all. The only thing I need to work on is not miss shifting when NLS.

I ran the 10.05 without launching. I've since then been practicing and will be back at the track Thursday. Okay.

Whats up with the 10's?

Seriously for the era / price it came out, the SVT was a great car. I wanna see this.

SOHC24powa

I didn't launch , and I shifted slow to make sure I didn't miss a gear. And he's probably got me now he's got the smaller pulley. I'd still like to race him stock.

SuperchargedSS

I was kidding about the 10's as you have had to clarify a gazillion times already.
I would race him stock on the auto - x (just ott rear sway), and the stock again for the drags, then tuned for the drags.

SOHC24powa

My bad. Lol. It's gonna end up just drag. And yeah imma race him stock first.

do yourself a favor and buy some really nice sticky street tires.

When Im done burning off the continentals I'd like to get some Falken 452's or 615's.

Honestly, if you're running a 10.0 1/8th, you need to work on your driving more than anything...







I kid.

so somebody thought it was cool to leave a brick out in the road , i swerved and barely clipped it . little scratch on the wheel and peeled the sidewall back some . enough to make me get a new tire . nobody has sportcontact2's in stock and i couldnt wait a day so i got 2 falken ziex 512's to pass the time til order azenis 615's .

What type of supercharger does he have? If its the jackson racing, your going to kill it. If he has the big boost kit, it will be tight but you will pull hard midrange in third. If its the Vortech, it will be a drivers race (hopefully he has the water cooler installed). I was planning on doing that with mine but as I saw that I would only get 210 whp with Jackson racing and maybe 230 at most with Big Boost Kit that would cost $2500. I said **** that and got a different car that would do much better with $2500.

SOHC24powa

PowerWorks kit . he put a smaller pulley on and now its breaking up like crazy . i took him for a ride in mine and after he said "honestly , if my car was running like it was saturday , i would have pulled the **** out of you just there ." Now he dosent want to race because apparently im no where near a challenge to him , he'd be wasting gas .

So his car is breaking up like crazy and he still wants to talk ****? Put up or shut up, is what i would tell him.

yel-low

guarantee that a Powerworked SVT will anihillate a stock SS/TC on OEM tires. PERIOD!!

SuperchargedSS

I have seen one put down 215wTq and 245 wHp when I was in Austin. Kit cost the kid 4G's.... not impressed. Also, the car is running like dung. These engines are starting to get old....

I had an 2003 SVT Fongus wen they first came out with the Big Boost Jackson racing kit and was putting down 247 whp and 223 wtq and all possible bolt on's, ran the 1/4 at 13.4's on average but the car does wake up on higher rpm's so u wont be pulling him stock. Get GMS1 or Trifecta/HPtuners and that should be game over, oh yea and practice how to lounge...jk..hehe, either way it should be fun to c.

mysweetSS

Curious to see how this goes!

SOHC24powa

he said its running fine now . not breaking up anymore . and i do intend to put the GMS1 on before i race him .

cakeeater

You should do one before and one after. I mean, you guys are friends, this isn't a grudge match right?

SOHC24powa

were friends yeah . but if he happens to win while im stock , hes the kinda guy thatll say "I already beat you once , whats the point in racing you again". he hasnt done any mods to the car since ive known him , and all the sudden puts a smaller pulley on when i ask him to race . kinda suspect . lol

cakeeater

Just tell him you want to be able to compare with and without the tune. You could even do it the same day

yel-low

yeah you will need something because i raced one with the power works setup and we where dead even and he had a shitty tune so good luck
