well, I can't speak from experience...so i don't know for sure. But having that extra 5-hundred rpm's while he's in second might help. Like I said. I do know it was door to door with me and the one I raced. And I wasn't even in a good part of my powerband. And if that wasn't bad enough, I had just started to build up those rpm's again when we hit traffic...the race only lasted 60 yards. I'm pretty sure I could have pulled at least a little.

sc will win for instance from a 40-80 roll but the TCs gain ALOT of power by the middle of 3rd. Yes the shifting at 7k is a godsend vs the tc.
Here is a good idea of what it takes to run a TC....now i was UNTUNED on methanol so my 2nd gear was not nearly as strong due to it drowning my injectors that night and running 10s AFR however you can see his shifts vs mine and when he took 5th at the end and tried to pull i caught up by the end of 4th. BTW Passenger ftl

I had a 200 lbs passenger 1/3 gas, he was on empty and no passenger.
Red = Turbo cobalt
Mine Black = SS/SC

think it was establish a gm stage 2 wont take a tc. Hell every video ive seen and every tc race ive witnessed destroyed s2s by the end of 3rd.
Anyway not saying an s2 cant beat a tc. Since ive beaten a 6.0 GTO before. That doesnt mean i beat the car....just the driver. Hopefully you will luck out and your driver mod > his.

wasnt there but the sc and the tc have their advantages and disadvantages in different parts of the race.

Yeah, like I said, I can't speak from experience. I really wish that whole race of mine could have been played out. And i haven't run into the kid since!!! go figure.
If we had gone longer he probably would have pulled on me then. Good thing it didn't last longer...hahaha

post the vid even if you lose! 
without a passenger i get him by like 4 cars... it really makes a big difference.
that's some very compelling evidence...lol.

Well, from a dig and roll...40 roll to around 110. He used to have stage 2 + S/C..So I think it's not anything new to him, except the 6500 RPM redline. The dig race was a fluke...He had the Traction control on at the strip and bogged real bad, so it really wasn't a race.

i say dont race....do him a favor and tell him to break in his car before racing... that is, if it is brand new..... if its used.... drive well, and i say you have him by a bumper or two
