I love the competition forming between the SC owners and TC's... should be interesting to watch the battles unfold in the time to come. However once the TC's start getting better aftermarket support and tunes start popping up this battle may be over before it started. Uless there are some m62 --> TVS swaps going on. I always loved my SC, it never let me down.

This guy needs to learn how to drive though. Obviosuly he wasnt taking advantage of his trump card (no lift shifting) and he also lost more of an advantage by running from a 40 roll (best case for the SC). Brake boosting makes a huge difference. Also, I am kind of tired of reading about 40 rolls, no offence to the op here, good race, but why not go from a dig? I'm betting the TC would have won all three.

Good race!

Clutch slip? ricer excuse? Well maybe he had a "Boost Leak" so thats why he lost actually.... Just kdding (Seriously though he should check his charge piping if he's got 5K on it) . Tell him on behalf of the TC drivers who can shift, to practice the no lift shift feature.... lol

That makes a world of difference.

Here is a dyno comparison of my 06 SS/SC and my 09 TC. You can see that the TC peaks before the SC but then it just runs out of breath and dives off. This is why I wish more company's would find another turbo that would be more efficient and just bolt up to the stock manifold/components. The BTF/new era compressor up grade is the best we got sofar for straight bolt up.

the higher red line really helped every time he shifted he would drop back a little and could not gain that back

that's about right for your mods. Good runs. Get some cooling mods as you are probably getting some heat soak, and your top end will get pretty sick and you will just walk away from him.

you guys are on crack, the ss/tc should have won

i think it did damn good for being stock and getting pulled maybe a car or so against a car with decent mods.
