Important race coming up

Theres this kid who ran his mouth all through high school when he was building up his integra and i was building my eclipse, we never got a chance to race, i sold the eclipse and got an evo. Well, he built his car up with a built motor, 60trim and 19psi and is now talking ALOT of crap. Soooo im finally gonna race him. Ive got a 50trim and meth, at 28psi and i know im past 400awhp

I found his dyno sheet.......400hp at the crank. Im thinking i should be able to beat him, and finally shut him up. Ive just gotta get him to go to the track asap, and ill post a vid and results.

I ran an 11.5@124.7mph best so far with crap traction

ill attatch his dyno sheet

Where did he dyno his engine at the crank? Are you sure he actually got on an engine dyno?

If he actually has 400whp along with ~2500-2600lbs, it could be pretty fast, but he has to have tires and know how to drive it.

However, I find this to be far from an "important race."

PS. Your 125mph traps show 460whp or more on a Dynojet depending on weight, so you're running strong.

Well, as you already know, importance of X is relative. Props to the TS for keeping it on the track.

My issue right now is that he wants to race from a roll, and not at the track...

That's not to the crank - that's to the hubs, since it's a Dynapack. Notice how the HP continues climbing and only stops when the operator let off the gas. It looks like it would keep climbing, and I would expect it to rev to 9k, but I don't know the specifics of his build.

At that power level, it should be able to trap as high as you, so if he can hook, he can beat you. All you have to do is get a halfway decent launch to bury him, though, probably.

Yeah, sounds important...

So, are talking about high school kids with highly-modded cars here? Seems kinda strange - who pays for all that stuff? On top of that, he's been talking crap and wants to prove himself by doing a "roll" race? Hey, you have your timeslip and know you have a ridiculously fast car that can do more than go in a straight line, although it does that VERY well. If all he can do is talk smack then run from a roll, then he has built a useless car. That's what you should tell him if he won't meet you at the track.

Warr yes we are talking HS here. the OP bought my old car actually and added a few more toys to get higher PSI from the 50trim which was on straight pump when I sold it. I can tell you Araon paid me in cold hard cash (in his own name) so props to him.

As for the race I agree with Warr. This could be close assumeing he doesnt just burn the tires. Make sure this is captured on vid Aaron. DOnt forget those cars are lightweight in comparison to the Evo


Side note. Ill be PMing you at some point Aaron, just get you to come hang at the track with me. I wanna see what I can do with my supra. plus I want to see my old car going in action.
