So last night i was at the "local" "track" and there was a kid there talking hella shiz on me and my buddys car(h22 hatch)...and he throws down a twenty saying "ill eat both of you alive, or ill pay you double." Well my buddy raced him first, and won...then he did it again...then one more time. I just put garage welded status exhaust on my car last night, so i lined up next to him...stock boost...bald a** rears, and took him as well...3 times. So we parked sohe could pay us, and he wouldnt look up. We asked what he had done, and he said intak exhaust, and a CHIP! It wasn't an LS1, it was the LT1, but i still would have expected to be dominated by that...im basically stock.

So my next question...could i stand up against an LS1?

My friends got a 2000 Formula with a SLP Intake lid,Headers and Exhaust.We stay dead even though 1st 2nd and at the top of 3rd i start to pull,And i just pull slowly in 4th.The LS1 is a great engine!!!

My other friend has the same mods in a 2001 SS Camaro.But he has 4.10 gears and i cant even keep up.LOLI guess Gears make all the differents in those cars.The stock gears must suck,He goes somthing like 50-55 in 1st!!

I love it! Ha, those jacka**es with there "V8's" and their "double our displacement"...and yet our little 4bangers keep up. hahahaha. I was really surprised tho...now i need some injectors and a fuel pump...that way i can make use of that profec b spec2 sitting in my car acting as a $300 boost gauge. Oh and my nice front mount. Maybe start tailing Vetts?

... not a chance. not a z06 at least.

from what i can remember the last year SS stock ran ~13.4-13.7. at sr with a good driver can break into the high and mid 13's no problem.

it almost always depends on the driver.

I took a 2000 SS in the freeway a few days ago on a 80mph downshift, Ive also walked a vette in the freeway and took some young punks in a Z06 off the line three times in a row. Makes the hard work all worth while.

ive beat numberous LS1 Camaros and WS6s with my T25 @ 14psi. I pulled on a C5 Vette too but it wasnt till he put it in 6th gear. Our cars surprise so many V8 guys because of our power to weight and 4.08 rear gear. Im thinking of getting a 4.36 or 4.63 rear gear just to add to the embarrasement. Might loose the high top speed but ill pull away before ever reaching 120.

what mods do you have to support that 13...do you have a fuel pump or frontmount?

i wanna know if i can turn mine up at all...safely, bbecause with my greddy at 0 all the way across i still hold 8 lbs for some reason...i wanna see if i can do like 11 or so with a fuel pump...

the injectors will be fine up to 14 psi. its the fuel pump and front mount that need to be upgraded to run that boost safely.

i can guarantee u that anything over 12psi on a stock sr mafs is maxing it out 100%, i made a few test runs a few months back when i was messin with my z32 mafs, i turned the boost to 11 i believe and i hit 94% on the safc 2's afl % monitor, then i turned it to 13 and i hit 100% everytime before 5500rpms

i know its not exactly good to max it out, but i had been runnin 12-14psi everyday for like the last 6 months before i knew i was runnin 100%, and over 60 1/4 mile passes until i switched to the z32 mafs, now the most ive hit was 47.1% with about 14psi on the t25 and it was like 20 degrees outside

bdrift, the boost controller allows you to turn up the boost, but you can't get it lower than stock.

Beemen, I've run 14psi on my stock SR MAF with no problem.

I know i can turn up my boost with my boost controller...i was just wondering what to...i have that damn dinky sidemount, and stock fuel pump...so i don't wanna do the super lean thing and blow it up....

by the way...that wasn't meant to sound "sassy" hahaha....just thought id clarify.

by the way, i race a mazarati today, and it made me smile. I won, but i don't know how hard he was trying, and i only one by a little...

beeman, did you notice any highend gains after you switched to the z32, or did it not make a difference because the injectors were probably maxed out too?-sean-

Thats a good question...it seems that they wouldn't put a maf on there that is maxed out that much before the injectors...

SRs are alright, but i raced my friend with a redtop SR. he was at 10psi, FMIC, intake, greddy downpipe, megan manifold, and Apexi N1 exhaust. from a 35mph roll, i probably pulled about 3-4 cars on him. i thot it was going to be closer, but it wasnt.
Sr's are alright... Well i hope you would win.Look at all your mods he's still on the stock T25 Turbo.Sr's are the best ........Ka-T are alright.

Depends on your mods. I know guys that have seen high 12's with a lid and exhaust (m6). LS1's arent anything to be taken lightly. Its VERY hard to pull on them up top.

im just saying, alot of SR owners around here think theyre unstoppable. what year LT1 did you go up against? SS camaros run consistent mid 13s (the older ones). you are at stock boost, stock turbo with just a front mount... the best you should possibly run is like a high 13. im not bull****ting you, im just saying its hard to believe.

BTW: what race track did you run at? pretty sure not SAC raceway because its closed for the season

haha, i like that you think your ka-t it completly unstoppable...look at it this way...my motor has basically NO money put into it...i buy intake and exhaust, and and lsd. and beat an lt1 ss camero. You bolt on a 2500 dollar turbo kit, and are barely faster than my basically stock sr. Nice.

And i didn't run at a track...hence the quotations in my first post....

And one more question, why are you posting in a forum talking about the SR20DET beating an LT1 SS Camero, when you have a KA-T? I believe you have your own area------>zeroforum?id=170

Thanks.

edit: forgot to answer the what year question.

I think it was a 98.

Older as in LT1's? If so bump that time up about a second or so. Many people take t25 sr's into the low 13s and a FEW have seen a high 12 (probably not your everyday run of the mill drivers). Against a stock to LIGHTLY modded ls1 as in exhaust and a lid it would be a drivers race.

I think as long as you are happy with your setup, then no one elses opinion should matter. I just got my black top SR the other day, and I think it is quick! Ofcourse anything would be quicker then a KADE with a callapsed lifter. I just appreciate it more is what I'm trying to say.
