I don't believe you beat all those cars from a roll on a stock 03, sorry. Evos just aren't that fast on the top-end, especially not 03s. Anyway, I wasn't talking about that, because we all know that such things mean nothing. What really matters is what you do at the track in a controlled and measurable environment. Your car with lots of mods before the turbo upgrade was still running 13s with weak mph, and that is what I meant by "messed up from the beginning." You should have never touched the turbo, alky, or header until you were running low 12s with BPU. That's why I think something is wrong with the car - you never had it running right in your previous trips to the track.

 

He could probably be beating those cars (Assuming it ran right) from a roll... In one of my other cars I have the FP3052 and beat up on those type cars all day long. The VR-4s are a joke... The TA and Z-28 are virtually the same... making low to mid 300's to the ground but weigh in at just under 4k lbs with driver. That turbo should be making over 350 to the ground at 24-25 psi with less weight. It should win without any trouble.

Sorry back on topic... your car is messed up or your driving is horrid or both. Sounds like you can shift it at all. Im still think half of it is the shifting, half is the car.

 

Well, I did beat those cars, all while having another person in my car. I tried turning off the WI, and add some fuel and it seemed to run about the same. I found a c5 vette that wanted to run on the highway, so we went from 75-130mph, at the end I was 2 cars ahead. The second run was 80-155mph. Around 140mph, he started to catch up, but I pulled away again, must be the long 5th gear. I guess something went right, my g/f was with me(not much of a difference), the boost was at 20psi which got 99mph at the track, and a C5 hits around 108-110mph. I have the next 2 days off from work so I'll get around to checking up on the car. Please list some things to look at, and I'll let everyone know how it looks.

 

He said he beat all those cars when he was stock...

 

Well, i don't know what to tell you other than highway pulls don't mean anything, I guess. I can't outrun anything like a C5 even in my current form, yet I trap 113+ with ease. Or rather, before all these mods I put on recently, I could trap 113+ with ease. Now, who knows, maybe 114-115, yet I still can't outrun cars like you claim to outrun, and you are only trapping around 100. Something doesn't add up...

 

The fact is that I have only been beaten on the street once. I've had the car since May 2004 and a month later, I raced a LS-1 Camaro SS w/n2o. Took him off the line but that was about it. Soon after I began modding and it hasnt happened since then. My g/f always gets the faster cars to race her and she hasn't lost yet. But I'm headed to Dallas next month to see if Al can do some of his tuning magic on my car. I would rather find out how much power I have now than what it will be.

 

he he he... in that case no way. Maybe that were laughing at him? The Vette that "caught up but then fell back again".. maybe he floored it for a second, then realized it wasnt worth it so he continued to simply merge with traffic

My car has a somewhat tough time beating up on Vettes.... well its not too tough but I am probably doubling your HP at that time or very close to it. A stock Evo will not come close to a Vette. If you start trapping in the mid teens or low 120s than you can say you beat up on them but not at 99mph

 

And your alchy injection is worthless if you can replace it with adding more fuel. The whole point is to run what you CANT do with fuel alone. Otherwise why did you bother getting it?

 

BTW, Warrtalon, are the cars that you are racing modded? I would have guessed you should ripping those cars a new one. I barely beat a C5 over a year ago with TBE w/stock cat,WI,SAFC, and MBC @ 18psi on 91 oct. No cams at the time.

 

are you driving in reverse?

 

Well, there is a guy with a 903hp evo that raced a SC zo6 that can proved the catching up a falling back in 5th gear. Why would the Vette driver tell me my car was bad and give me the thumbs up for beating him twice? How hard is it to beat a 350hp LS-1 Vette that runs 13.4s at the track?

 

When your car is stock??? Pretty much impossible considering he has much less drivetrain loss, alot more HP, a ton more TQ, and probably weighs slightly less.... yes, not gonna happen

 

Maybe I'll post a vid of my bro LS-1 Z28 and I running, since they cant believe an Evo beat the amighty Chevy Corvette.

 

Trust me... I have raced plenty of cars. A brand new corvette doesnt stand a chance against my car currently, in fact my buddy just bought a viper which doesnt stand a chance either. (Ill post some vids once he gets quits complaining about salt). But mine was stock once too and even with minor bolt-ons (Exhaust and intake), I couldnt hold with them for too long... sooner or later they would pull on me.

 

Just as I said, I beat a C5 from aroll when my Evo had much lesser mods.
