sr20det vs c5 corvette c5 w/100 nos

[sms240sx]

I am gonna race a '99 C5 Corvette with I/E and 100 shot of nos. My car is not done yet but here is what I've got:

'91 240sx HBS13 SR20DETBlitz Air FilterHT 3" Down PipeBlitz SS BOVHKS 3" C/B ExhaustFMIC 30x6x2Hi-Flow Cat.Walbro Fuel PumpManual Boost Controller at 15psi

Can I beat him??

[OneFastStanza]

Hmmm, well I am gonna say not likely. He should be relatively fast especially with him spraying.

What are you running your boost at. I would have to say most defintely not if the boost is not turned up.

I will be running 15-17psi and with the other parts, I wont have much turbo lag. I might have time to get a turbo manifold and Greddy turbo extension before I race him. You can check out his car at our car club site @ http://www.superior-motorsports.com. Tell me what you think.

Is this a black top or red top DET? If it's the blacktop w/T28 turbo, you still probably not gonna beat a C5 vette with 100 shot. Without the nos you should spank him to and fro. Oh, what kind of clutch you got in that thing.?

[sms240sx]

It is the s13 red top, which has a much better torque curve than the s14 or s14 sr20det. It has a Nismo clutch which was there when I got it. This corvette ran a 13.4 with 75 shot nos, but now he is running 100 with a spec stage 3 clutch.

Redtop=T25+15-17psi=BAD IDEA for daily driving. 15lbs for a short burst shouldn't be a problem. T25 begins to loose its effiency after 14lbs and there is alot of torture on the thrust bearing.

[sms240sx]

I kind of guessed that. I am also gonna race a '00 pontiac firehawk that has a ton of mods and and has spanked that vette all day at the track ( you can see this firehawk @ http://www.superior-motorsports.com) and I think it has a best time of 13.2. Most of my friends in superior estimate a 12.8 out of my car with a good driver.

By the way, does anyone know where I can get an upper coolant neck( where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine) or coil pack harness for a s13 sr20det?

i love hte suby!! and the firehawk, honestly, i dont think you'll have enough to run the vette if he's spraying, however, u can pray me misses a shift!!!, and if hte firehawk spanks the vette, then i dont think that'll even be a fair race, i say its possible for u to be the vette if he's off the juice

you don't stand a chance! The c5 is a damn fast car and with a 100 shot will murder you. I have a redtop @ 14lbs (anything higher and your blowing hot air) and just barely edge out z28s. Get a bigger turbo then propper fueling and tuning...When that happens now you can go play with the big boys until that time have fun looking at his taillights.

BTW 12.8 1/4 mi is not obtainable with your mods

i wouldnt try it for a couple of reasons 1. you will probably lose2. you will probably burn your engine up trying to win.

[98TURBOKA]

Don't push your car to hard tring to beat them, it sound like they have the upper hand. for now!

[illspace]

You have no chance against a stock c5 (assuming a descent driver) let alone with a 100 shot.... Friend 1, 12.5@114 totally stock 2001 FRC (fixed roof coupe, same body as Z06), buddy 2 ran a 13.0@107 in a firehawk with intake.
