caught a c5 in the wrong gear
at a 2 lane rd and the vette is in the front, theres a camry infront of me beside the vette, the camry turns right, i gun it to catch up to the vette he was just accelerating normal, as i was at his bak bumper i heard him nail it but he caught the ass bottom of secong gear and i got ahed of him before my lane ended
pretty lame story but i was just laughing my ass off at the look on his girlfriends face when he was floorin it and couldnt get passed me of course he stayed like 1/8 of a mile behind me after, i slowed doen alot though but he still kept his distance, i wanted to get a better shot of his g/f

how is that tough to believe,
i aint even gonna waste my time w/ u
if i have the mometum from goin WOT through the 1-2 shift and i'm flloring it and the vette floors i'd say at about 35-40mph, it was an auto so i'm guessing he caught 2nd gear, IF he would of caught 1st i know he woud of walked away
I AM NOT SAYING MY CAR US FASTR THAN A VETTE, LOOK AT THE TITILE OF THE THREAD U DUMB FUCK, I CAUGHT IT IN THE WRONG GEAR

i was test driving my car civic, i was just riding it hard to make sure it felt lke it used to, i just ran into the vette,
i dont think its a big deal, lets say i nail it at like 32mph, i'll catch ass bottom of 2nd gear and a geo metro is in the right gear goin WOT it could get by me

We need to hit the track... I wanna give you a run before I get my blower in. Well I suppose I can give you a run after I get my blower as well... your car is pretty quick... maybe it will give me a run for my money anyways?

Yeah, I was gonna get a blower for the GT, and it would have been mean as hell, but I was afraid the car would explode if I was too hard on it.... hhahahha. Hypereutectic rods suck ass.

Lucky punk... only 18 and you got your hands on a Hemi Cuda.... Yeah, I figured it was wasn't original, but it's even crazier if you had work done to the hemi. I wouldn't run it too much either on the street unless you have serious experience... my buddy had a chevelle with a big block (429 maybe?) and it was a beast to handle...
Yeah, the stang should be fun at the track. I'm particularly looking at running a stage 3 Roush I saw there last time, and a couple of Mach1 Mustangs (modded... trapped 12.7 and 12.1) I want to run a STi, but this being michigan it seems like everyone here runs domestics...

Put a T-Trim on that bitch...I am dying to see what that bullet can make with 18 pounds of spuds from a real blower.

As I don;t know anyone who's done it on this application, it's mere conjecture, but at high boost pressures, say 18-20+ I would think the KB would not hold up as beaing as efficient as a large centrifugal.
Low rpm boost pressure has never been a big deal to me, as there is always a shifter and even at my lower power level, I have more than enough to light the hides at any rpm.

I'd like to see the flow chart on the units but generally the twin screw units are nearly as good at the higher boost levels. But then again it is very specific to the unit in question and what its design limitations are.
However:
Centrifugal and Twin Screw > Roots

damn...
that's some serious power. I'm glad ur not around here, you'd smoke me out like some cheap weed. You running an SHM forged longblock, or some kinda forged motor? Otherwise, I'd hate to be next to you when you grenade a con-rod into my front fascia... =)

Stock block here...it'll blow someday I am sure, but I kep the tune "safe" at 11.0:1 at the sacrifice of more power. COuld make 490-500 if I wanted to add some more timing and lean it out to 12.0 or so.
I wanna see someone put a big centrifugal on there, not my wimpy 11psi S-Trim.

Hey, the Cobra (pre 03) has hypereutectic pistons and the same rods as the GT.
Mine is real rough to launch, mostly cause I still have the 4.30s in there from when i was N/A...solid axle though, so i don;t have your wheel hop woes.
If I didn;t love being overgeared for fun on the street, I;d swap them to 3.73 or 3.90s for 1/4 mile racing....the 4.30s are perfect for highway racing though anywhere 50-70 and I can drop right into the real meat of it in 3rd and roll through 4th. 5th gear pulls hard as hell, too with the 4.30s.
