UPDATE for LS1 VS L36

[bird200]

I finally raced a 2002 formula. I have a 100 shot, catback, and intake with a shift kit. The guy I raced races alot so he knew what he was doing but ne ways. We were real even for about an 1/8 mile but when shifting into third he had a substantial pull on my car. all in all the formula won and I lost. I held up pretty darn good but there truly is no replacement for displacement.

How depressing :( What mods did his car have? Doesn't sound like it was stock.

150 shot haha ;) j/k

[bird200]

He had ZERO mods. Not even a drop in k and n air filter. However he does know exactly where to launch his car to get zero wheel spin and has raced many times. I have the tape of how close it is. Hopefully soon I will get it loaded up. We are gonna run again this coming weekend because it was so close.

you need to practice with your car some more then so you can get it even closer

the launch gives you a lot..on my dry kit i would leave the system armed and ready to go as soon as i hit wide open throttle..i would stall to 2000 rpms on the line..and then put it right to wide open throttle when i launched and sprayed right off the line..thats how i got my 60's down so much..gotta get tires that can handle it though

[bird200]

Thats exactly what the guy told me that I was racing, he asked when I was hitting it and I told him not untill 3000 rpms and he said that if I were to hit it sooner out of the hole that I would be betting him without a doubt.

Who gives a **** about warranties if you have 700+ HP?

[BiH]
