I have owned supercharged and turbo cars. My past 4 have been turbo'd. One was SC'd then I got tired of belt slip and odd tuning, so I drove it NA for a while (It was a Miata) then I turbo'd it. I ran my friend with a same year SC'd miata. Same motor and Engine management. He put down 225WHP 210Lbs of torque. With my 2860RS setup I was putting down 241WHP 231Ftlbs at that time. in the 1/4 I ran a 12.6 on Azenis, he ran a 13.1 on Azenis. My trap was 116MPH, his was 103MPH, who would win in a roll race.....
HP+Torque wins races. The method of FI doesn't matter. If a guy/gal is putting down more power and tq than me, and weighs the same. If we are of equal driving skill, odds are he/she will win.
This SS/SC or SS/TC should have won bs is bs. Get the **** over it. If someone has more power odds are they will win. For some odd reason I have not run accross these C6 crushing SS/SC's that everyone is so adament they have.

nobody is saying what ifs .... they are letting you know you raced a kid in a ss/sc that had no idea what he was talking about when he mentioned what he has done. They are also letting you know that not all lsj's are as slow as you think. there are a few out there that will give you a run for your money. dont think just because you didnt run into them they dont exist.

Oh well, dude got smoked. All I hear are what ifs and all that ****. If I had a GT35R I would smoke a C6 vette, but I don't and I am sure I can't run with a 430 HP vette. I am going off what the guy told me. He may have been doing ricer talk for all I know, or telling the truth. HP and TQ + Weight is what matters in racing (also how you put it down.) Bottom line a tuned SS/TC with some bolt ons puts down a good amount of WHP.

16whp and 21wtq nets you 13 more mph in trap speeds.. ?Seriously?
We are not giving what ifs.. We are telling you HOW IT IS. The car you raced was not Blower Swapped.. He was not on a tiny pulley NOR was he making 22psi. He would hit 22psi with a clogged cat or a 2.9" pulley on a TVS car and if that were the case your car would have gotten destroyed. SO. Moral of the story. You probably raced a mostly stock lsj that was lying out his ass..
Good Kill.

And I don't get it... you live in Florida and drive all the way to Mexico to street race? Who do you think you are Vin Diesel? If you won did you get the money and the respect?

And I am 4 years younger than you old guy

I don't see of your track times in here....
Now the 12.60 LSJ I would not want to run accross.....But rev high has a higher trap and was on street tires. Both are very fast cars.
1. Maxim_X, 12.609@112.17, LSJ Timeslips PIC
2. Revhigh18, 12.806@113.83, LNF Timeslip VID

Well don't start **** just to "antagonize" which I've seen you state before. And you give the "young" lnf owners crap for saying stuff, but you're worse. Sorry it's irritating, I thought you were cool before but this is just old now.

First two were on a tire, revhigh was on street tries which makes for a higher trap everytime because of less traction

haha soo not true .... its the LNF people who start **** on lsj guys. Most people who have an ss/tc had an ss/sc, and before the ss/tc came, loved it !! Now they think they are driving a Lambo and **** talk the ss/sc and call it slow which is far from the truth.
