Are you stock or modded? I assume modded since you pulled 250ish HP? I assume that stock GS pull anywhere from 230s to 240? I'm surprised your tourque was so low though. I guess I'm just comparing these figures to the 540.
I will have to check out these plugs!

Are you heading down to Silver Dollar on the 29th?? I've already made arrangement to go down, actually going on Saturday and visiting a few other places down that way.
DrRick, what is that URL talking about the gathering at Silver Dollar??

So is this going to happen this weekend or what?
I don't even have an exhaust on my car, just intake, headers, and tires, and i've NEVER lost to a stock GS400.
Those things are boats off the line.
Good luck NOVA!
I'm glad we're making friends with these guys, and not foe's like the 330ci pricks.
The GS430 is a badass car, and I think it may have an upper hand from 50+, but like I said, I've NEVER lost to one.

i can tell you this, and im not blowing smoke. off the line, the intake and exhaust make zero difference. its in the higher speeds, where you can feel the intake start to kick in. i played around with a GS (stock except for K&N) owner on the way back from the dragon and we were dead even up to about 60 or so. hell once, we dead even til 100 or so. so if its just a short sprint, i wouldnt worry to much about it. just go out and have some fun and be safe.

Hey GSPusher, I may show up to SRT to meet you and hopefully other enthusiasts!
On Saturday, Curry's is having a show and a Dyno day, bring the GS guys and and let's all meet. Mostly German cars though but all 540 owners I've met are very cool....keep in mind, most are 6spd guys.

Hey, this race will be great, anyone gonna video it for us to see????? Doc, scalbert, I am down for the 29th...sounds good..
That is the 340hp dud of the century. So is the M45, they need to advertise at 240hp. I seriously think the Type-S is as fast up to 80.
Has anyone driven one, with the 18s it rides smooth but handles like it's size, which is not good.
I got $20 bucks on GSpusher....

Hey NOVA are you running bigger Rims & Tires? Also what do you run in the 1/4mile, if you don't know you should come out to the Track this Friday. That will give you the chance to see where you are at with your Mods.

For those who said in "SS you can't hit the rev limiter"
This is in response to all of those who at first thought I was in SS and hit the rev limiter. Those people said, Its impossible...Well, I tried it last night and yes before having to shut down--I hit the rev limiter in SS in D1 and D2--don't know about D3, like I said-I had to shut down....
Just thought Id shut those people up who tried to poke wholes in my original story --but obviously, like I mentioned earlier--I gate shifted...but I just wanted to test this out

Dr. Rick, I guess I was stating my comment based on the fact that most races stop around 80ish anyway. BTW, I was trying to be funny on my last post
GS4, I'm looking forward to it! I wanted to meed that dude with the turbo GS...hope he shows up!

, we know what the S is capable of. I hit the rev-limiter in d1, d2 and d3 before. I did this all trying to mopp this guy in a 02 Golf. I was so determined to put a margin in between both of us that i wasn't paying attention to my engine revs or the tach. It's all good tho, no damage done (rev-limiter) and if they don't believe you, I do

But what are the individual ratios?? Final drive is nice to compare one vehicle to another like vehicle with a different rear-end. But that is only a portion of the equation as the overall ratio is a factor of the final drive and the individual gears.
You can have a high final drive with low individual gears and still have aggressive gearing.
