Went to the local OCC meet the other week. Had a friendly race with another member with an Auto SS/NA.

We went twice from a dig. Both times I won by about half a car. He stayed on me but just couldn't start pulling away.

They were good races. He was cool with losing to a modded 2.2 too

Yep. Drop in filter at most.

It was a good comparison. The only difference between his motor and mine currently is VVT and 0.2 Litres of displacement.

With your mods you should be pretty even with a stock 2.4

with a stock 2.4 he is pretty even against an auto at that. You would have a tougher job against someone with a 2.4 5 speed that knows how to drive it but a modded 2.4 no way. Good win though.

Or to get enough info about their AFR to get W!ck3d t00n'd. Wideband gauges are definitely not a cosmetic mod bro.

Update to original info.

The SS I raced had an R.A.W. Cold Air Intake.

Do you have your boost gauge hooked up & lighting up in your car?
