E vs DE race

[driftin240]

My buddy has an 89 s13 5spd with some venom fuel injectors and a custom intake against my s14 with a stock engine and auto transmission...we ran about 5 times and each time we were just about even, but he jumped the line on me with his manual but still I thought i would be a lil in front of him but now i know how close the two engines are(less than a car length)

a 5spd de would do much better aginst him, no offence to your auto.

now you should run him from a roll There is where you'll see the 5 sp to auto difference

[driftin240]

ya we will run again on a roll...i also had 87 octane which might not make much of a difference but 93 seems to be quicker to me...i want to do a transmission swap in the future i hate the dam auto

higher octane has a higher threshold for pinging. it wont ad power to stock normal everyday cars.
