brake boosting a car with a turbo as small as a KO4 is the stupidest thing I've heard of...The purpose of brake boosting is so there isn't any lag with a larger turbo from a roll on....KO4's don't have lag, and if you think they do you've never driven a car with a turbo worth a damn

When my TC was stock (242 whp\ 262 wtq)..... I put one car (dig to 90) on a Stg 2 SC (239 whp\244 wtq)..We were even till about 45 mph, after that I slowly walked............ Tq is 0-80 mph, above that it's all about hp...
Stock for stock it's pre-meditated suicide for a SC.

Tc can't drive. With your mods the advantage is til 80. Tc walks after.
here is an idea of a realistic equalish driver mod race.

Anyway congratz on the bragging rights but dont expect them all to be that way.

get that H/E man. When summer hits our SCs get hot as hell. Keep in mind it is colder out so we dont lose as much HP. Summertime is a major bog. You will notice the power drop off due to heat soak around 80 mph.

Actually, yes, he will need to rebuild for the TVS. And at that point I would easily bet on a loss for the stock LNF TC engine until the rebuild/turbo swap goes into the tc and its faster. This is how its been going for decades... one upsmanship...back n forth... love it.
Are we even comparing the same power plant at that point? lol Also, I can't see the m62 whining its way ahead of a hanh bolted and tuned tc, but I guess thats just my opinion. Around here stock sc's with just stage 2 are pulling TC's by 4+ cars...
He is being smart actually by rebuilding the engine and setting the foundation for the tvs. Then you need a proper tuner etc to tweak it just right. But hell, what do I know, go ahead and bolt up a tvs to a stock lsj, it's retarded, but go for it
Hands down the tc is the better car for me, having driven them both to their limits, and love em both. I am also not a roll racer or much into drag racing either. I like auto cross and track days etc and my tc feels like a different car through corners. No phantom clunking either... I like the handling upgrades and brakes of the tc much better than the sc and its way easier to launch (I dont use launch control).
I can see this debate raging on for a long time.. lol

2nd: fixed / proven
on a side note im not bashing SS/SCs because i love BOTH cars. However misleading the community to believe ALL s2 SS/SCs will spank stock TCs by a bus (3+ cars) is a little....funny.
