Ah, but you did see the GN race someone in the video. Actually twice. It was the car racing my Cobalt where you could barely see just my headlight and I had the late start. Then the race afterwards where I beat him since I finally heard his honks!

Nice races. Im impressed how well the stock hp TC hung in there with those mods. I know have dismantled some stage 2 sc's with bolts back in the fall, but I would have expected a BIG loss to be handed to me with mods like that in youre sig. Good vids.

Once again, I was short shifting while racing him. I was shifting at 6500rpms instead of 7k like I usually do. The race that didn't get caught on video I blistered the SS/TC.

I'm not saying I make gobs more power between those rpms, but it makes a huge differance as to when you shift into the next gear where the rpms pick back up. Basically the car will take longer during the transitions to continue onward. I never had my final tune dyno'd as I did most of my work on street tuning the car. Needless to say I think I had it dialed in quite well at the time. Not to mention that I had 175-200lb passenger in the car with 3/4 tank of gas and Brock had no passenger and barely enough gas to do those runs because he had to stop on the way back to fill up again since his gas light was on. I'm sure Brock will corfirm exactly what I am stating as well as my passenger. I'm a no BS kind of guy, so I tell it like it is.

I have yet to see a balt make any power after 6500, and I agree, it's the shift point and rpm band that are making the diff. Thats a good sign for the tc, it hangs right in there power wise with you're mods, with the exception of weight.. I am interested to see what the tune does to the tc. Are you guys going to run again after the tune? You should run from a dig.

Never had it dyno'd at it's peak before I broke it. Back before meth though she laid down a whopping 238whp and 230wtrq on the local mustang dyno "heartbreaker." What you lay down there is usually quite different from what it really is on every other dyno though.
