98gst ,98 boosted prelude, srt4

[boosted98gst]

i had to meet up with a guy in columbus about one of my 240's today, well on the way back to marysville on 33 me and a guy frank with the prelude are just cruzing on 33 minding our own business, i look in my rear view and i can see a black neon coming up it was so far back i couldnt tell or even think of anything, well i see it flying up now i can notice the front end and front mount, he gets on the side of me and lets his bov off like 3 times,i also see he has guages on the A pillar, and he had the same after market dual exhaust as one of my friends and both the guys start laughing or somthing i look over and i see his friend the passenger had a video cam and was like fliming me....i was like uhhh well any way he revs and we both downshift and coast to about 55 then we take off, up to 105 i pulled about 3-4 cars on him i slowed down and he gets back on the side on me and shrugs, i get over and let my friend frank get next to him and they both slowed down really slow and went from a 2nd gear roll, the prelude pulled on him about a car or so, in all it was fun, i gave the guy a thumbs up , if this video gets posted anywhere like srt4 fourms or some other site someone let me know

[04_srt_4]

I will let you know, even though most of the videos that surface on the srt forums are srt's winning the race. You should actually run your car down the track, at least once, inquiring minds would like to know what it is capable of ?

[boosted98gst]

yeah i know its not fast. never said my car was ever fast...but still it couldnt beat me.....why would i want to run a fwd think about it..... i have a janky ass gst with 100k 16g bolts ons , stock 450's, only thing is turbo
and exhaust mods, rest is suspension
TO MAKE IT CLEAR MY CAR IS SLOW

[DQ Driver]

WWD's can go for MPH

[boosted98gst]

its like jarrods srt everyone says its fast.... i herd he has all these mods blah blah blah.....and o4 srt i never doubt your car i bet it will kill my gst, and im not scared to say i would loose.....

[DQ Driver]

how much boost are you running on those stock injectors and stock 2g smic??

[talon guy]

jason's got the greddy fmic, but i think its the 18row? :thumb

[04_srt_4]

Boosted I was not talking about comparing your car and mine, I want to know what a super16G gst or gsx will run, that is all. I read all the posting about how the that turbo is so big and more for the top end, I would just like to know what it would trap at, wouldnt you ?

[integranator]

I think the gs-t's trap around 105-106 w/ 550's and fmic, from what i've seen.

[boosted98gst]

srt4 i know i was just giving you a hard time about it :thumb but yeah the super 16 sucks ass, its the worst investement ive made

[OWNDJOO]

should be higher than that. my awd trapped 106 with a 14b and 450's

[Iwishiwascool]

should be higher than that. my awd trapped 106 with a 14b and 450's

if that was the norm I bet you wouldnt make a point of mentioning it every other post. :thumb

busted.

[OWNDJOO]

i'm just sayin, that if an awd with a 14b,450's and stock smic, can trap that, then a fwd,16g,550,fmic should be closer to 110

[GSXLR8]

his point is that you always fail to mention all of the OTHER things that WERE done to your car when it had those things on it.

it is misleading to those that don't know any better

[integranator]

i'm just sayin, that if an awd with a 14b,450's and stock smic, can trap that, then a fwd,16g,550,fmic should be closer to 110

doubtful. key word is CAN trap that. Although, i've never seen a 16g trap above 110. Hell, Chad's car isn't even trapping 110.

edit: also, i took a look at your local ranking mph's, and not one fwd car is above 108mph. And he was built.

[DQ Driver]

I agree. It is doubtful because butt dynos fluctuate and driver error is a large percentage

I trapped 106 full weight with my AWD with my stock turbo plus a rediculous leak (recently found). We can spend the rest of the day keyboarding in predictions, or spend one morning at the track and get some numbers.


Chad's car has potential, but he has one big limitiing factor. The Wifey Gasket. I'm sure his car would have performed much better had he just kept pump gas in his car for the last trip, instead of pumping in race gas and not making extreme adjustments.

This was my problem. It's a wonder how my car even made any boost, let alone ran 12.8's.

[integranator]

I wasn't trying to bad mouth Chads car-- do not get that wrong. His car is extremely badass-- and I give it mass props-- Just wish I coulda had a shot at it ;). Just showing that just because someone trapped xxxmph doesn't mean that its destiny for everyone else-- because I can't even count how many times i've raped 16g awd's and pulled 3-4 cars w/ fwd 14b's and 16g's as well--- and I was trapping around 110+.

edit: bummer about that gasket-- when I disassembled my system, every port from my manifold was leaking (wastegate, cyls, turbo etc.). I think leaks are mandatory. ;)

Ummmm.....I know of a 16G stock car on here that trapped 109 :thumb .

oh shush-- the debate was on gs-t's jerk jk. Srt's are completely different. :beer badass trap tho bro. Although i know that no STOCK srt will trap 109mph after reading that scc couldn't get it to trap higher than 99mph.
Edit: the 99mph was gotten from the Feb. 2002 issue of Sport compact car article entitled "2003 sport compact car of the year"

i know.. that's why i like to RAZZ people that post kill stories that don't really have the intention of going to the track and to find out what their car really runs. Those that don't go to the track can trust me, it's always a dissappointment

Q: What's your fastest run?
A: xx.xxx@XX.xx mph + some excuse/anomoly

I expresed my errors to show that there is potential for more. Pay attention to details, practice, and you'll find that upgrading to the next level isn't particularly neccesary. It is merely increasing the variables for failure modes and accentuating problems.

lol, nice big words!! I completely agree with you. I guess all you had to say is that tuning is key. I've always said that from day one. Can't just slap a big turbo on the car and run big boost w/out tuning.

I'm not sure if you're trying to stir stuff up or whatever-- But i'm not trying to be a dick. But just for shits and giggles, lets take an pollof the amount of cars on this site that have a larger turbo, or increased boost and have been tuned w/ a wideband.

[Iwishiwascool]

he was being sarcastic.

I know of one car with a reeeeealy big turbo that is being tooned with a wideband now.

1g kids have so many variables in plain sight with the aid of an obd1 logger. A wideband is almost unnecessary.

16g powered cars are quite capable of +110 mph traps but most of their drivers/tooners are not.

If you want to talk 16g capability, look at shepherd 120mph ish 16g run back in the day. If you want reality look at the 100-105 standard set by your everyday tooner. Thats the bottom line.

You've just repeated every one of my points. I'm not talking about the POTENTIAL of the turbo. Nor was I talking about the capability of the turbo. I'm talking about what I have seen. Thats the bottom line.

edit: I am once again, not trying to start arguments, just healthy discussions because I believe these type of discussions help people out.

I have a large turbo and will tune with a wideband and will turn up the boost.

[integranator]

Tuning is always key-- so you don't blow your motor.

1500cfm is weak.
and it's only getting started.

do you guys need a room?

how about a seperate post about your plans, i'm interested

my apologies. Back to the topic at hand.

[MrBlunt]

best trap to date 109.68. best et cough *14.009 cough*(full interior + babyseat, nitto 450's)

if i wouldn't have been outside landscaping, since 11:30, my pita flower garden so i'd be super dad/father i would have chimed in earlier.

I need to get that gasket fixed for sure. NO reason why traps can't go up from where i currently am. Both runs i made last sunday were just shy of 106. Keeping my street tires on the road w/ my power would be peachy but i've made less than 10 actual runs at the track w/ my current setup, i'm still learning.

[boosted98gst]

i finally seen the video :rolleyes i look like a lame

[shosterman]

Hey everyone! I'm the guy that got beat. :)

Before I start typing, I might as well put up the videos for everyone to see. I haven't put them up on the srtforums yet, but will get around to it soon. Too many people there, kills my server.

We were on our way up to Ohio Northern with a trunk full of stuff to visit a friend up there when we saw you guys. Since we had the camera out, figured might as well give it a shot. Quick point of note too, my roommate, the one with the camera has a Black EvoVIII here in Columbus. Anyway, tried to give you the thumbs up, but it's all good. Haha, my roommate has a habit of blowing stuff out of proportion, so just ignore his comments.

It's a 2004 with Mopar BOV and Mopar STS (and I don't have gauges in my A-pillar) :). I took it to the track a few weeks ago for the first time and ran a best of 13.82@102. I'll be out at National Trails tomorrow as long as the weather is nice and hope to see some of you there. Just come over and say hi. If I have the camera, I'll be happy to get any of your runs on film.

[boosted98gst]

yeah i was trying to catch up to you hoping you would pull over at the marysville exit....but couldnt catch up with you through the traffic, by the way you have avery nice car, hope to meet up someday
take care

[1fast5gp]

good race guys... nice car!! hope you see you again sometime.. :thumb

[DQ Driver]

Hey everyone! I'm the guy that got beat. :)

Stephen

you're a good sport. i laughed when you said.. "yeah, like eight-hundred ten more horsepower"

at the track i'd say it'd be a dead heat

[shosterman]

Hehe, may as well be cool about it. No use coming on here and being an ass to a bunch of people that live in the same town as me, haha.

I think my roommate said something about more horsepower and my reply was something about having 800 more pounds in the car than him.

Speaking of street races though, Monday I found myself in another one and wasn't quite expecting it. I was coming up 270N from 70 and came up to a silver Lightning. I was just kinda of drooling at it when the guy started to speed up a bit. Next thing I know I hear this...VROOOM and the guy floors it. So I floor it after him and he's pulling away, but I'm still semi-close to him. We do that a couple more times and I keep trying to wave to him, but he has his eyes fixed dead ahead...which is maybe where I should have been looking. :)

Oh well, I pull off on Hamilton and turn back around to go home.

[Caine]

Im hoping to run a 19 @75. So i think I should be happy with the results. lol

[MAdpOwA4g63]

F naw plaYa, My isH would Ownz all dis sh!tz. Yall slowz as a lil bishes. You sukaz with you hAd my Sh!z.

[Caine]

Oh my GOD I know man, dont those body kits make you go just so fast. And the neons there like rocket launchers. And cant forget the stickers. Those add SOME SICK horsepower.

Son the flames of hell will engulf you if you keep talking shizzile. So im letting you know now my doggi izzle you need to lay off the crack for shizzle. peace
