Wow.... my story beating a 350z is more realistic than this. Shut up dude. The NAs arent that powerful, they are sometimes suprisingly quick but they wont keep up with a SS of just about any year Camaro.

They aren't that fast...

One of the only times I street raced, I made a regular v-tec 5-speed (07) look like shit, and I was ATX. I had full exhaust, intake, ground wires, blahblahblah though. So IDK. I think I was a little bit above the average NA car. Never got a chance to race an Si, but most hondas won't be too dangerous if you have a 5-speed.

And I NEVER SAID HE COULD GET 700FWHP on BPU, I was showing an NA car that is well over the 200whp barrier you seem to think is so hard to reach. We did not even begin discussing traction issues or anything like that. Yet again you seem to think I don't know a thing about my car and you could not be more wrong. If I could neg rep you for "reading comprehension" I would because you obviously only see and read what you want to.

If you really want some power I suggest you save your money and buy some NOS. A wet kit with a 50 or 75 jet and boom more power than ANY bolt on besides a full TT conversion.

Default Re: more horsepower

what very few new N/A owners seem to realize (and i do finally understand...gee, it only took me 3 years); is that a MAXED OUT n/a (not including NOS) will still not make as much power to the wheels as a fwd tt running light boost.

at 8psi, my car dyno'd 230/235 hp/tq. it's actually rather sad...but that's how it goes. other than F.I. the only thing that will make an n/a markedly faster is NO2. and F.I. doesn't require refilling.

Default Re: more horsepower

technically...no. i'm running about 1/2 the boost i'd like to run; i just don't have a tt ecu.

i have 9b's, safc2, tt injectors, denso fuel pump, 3sx custom single-pass radiator, smic's, etc. most everything is "oem" level...with a few exceptions.

i'd estimate at least 280-300 at the wheels if i could safely crank it to 14psi.

yeah, no way you even came close to an ss camaro. If it was a v6, sure, I raced one from a dig. He had an auto with exhaust, I had a 5 speed with exhaust and intake. Dead even through first and second gear, and when I hit third I was gone
