TT v6 vs. T T/A (VIDEO!)
 

I made a post a while ago that i raced a turbo trans-am (my buddy) But i never posted the vid because it was un-edited and i dont like having my license plate all over the internet, expecually when im racing . .

Anyhoo.

Backround Story:

The trans-am is my friend nick's It is running on wastegate the whole time, he has a base dynotune but is schedualed to go in for further tuning, he is seeing 6-8psi durring this video. On this paticular day we were bored and both of our cars were not in tip top shape (he was having boost issues and i was having heat issues) But we went out and screwed arround anyhow.

The v6- Stock motor, Twin Turbo kit from Justin@VMPtuning.com running 8psi low and 15psi high. Stock t5 tranny, stock 7.5" with posi and 3.73's

The T/A- single 76mm turbo, H/C/I LS1 stroked to 383CI, built T56 tranny, stock 10bolt

1st run: from a roll in 3rd gear on the HW, me on low boost, i accidently spun to 7000rpms (scared the **** outa me)

2nd run: from aroll in 3rd gear on the HW,me on high boost.

3rd run: from a dig, me on high boost. We both get alittle nasty in 2nd gear, hey sometimes torque happends when you have a turbo


without further adue (sp?)

uhh it should work . .

Looked... Good.

I bet that did scare the ****e out of you if you hit 7k!...

Was a nice holeshot from a dig, looked like fun. :beerchug:

So you took my advice and did a video hell yeah.

lol "yeah the teal v6 alwyas gets the holeshot"

Looks like you werent kidding when you said that turbo t/a there is pretty damn fast.

Yea its pretty quick, he still isnt done getting all his bugs worked out.

Mark my words, There will be a remach.

v6 + 1.8RR's + 116octain leaded fuel maybe i can make the race a little closer :)

leaded fuel russ?

Hey did you get those turbo's wrapped with turbo blankets etc.. yet, and when the hell are you going back to justin?

v6 power :ban:

sometimes you need leaded fuel :pepper:

I am only running 10* of timing . . quite conservative imho. Hopefully with the C16 i can go more then double that.

No the turbos are not wrapped yet. they just have those little dinky metal heat shield (i doubt they do ****) It is all coated However, the coating is over 2 years old i believe.

I am going back to justin when i get some 1/4 mile times under my belt, i wanna go run with my current setup on street tires, and on slicks. Then i will install my 1.8RR's and go to Justin for the retune. I think i am going to get a MSD 2step though, for launching on slicks.

That's a sweet video man....those are two bad azz cars! Those T/A's are tough up top even without a power adder, but damn!

so its still very very hot under the hood. I bet your fan loves being melted away.

Over x-mas break i want to pull the headers and the down pipe and get it all re-coated. While i do that im going to put underdrive pulelys on.

Maybe after that i'll get a cowl hood . . I'd love to have a 3.5" cowl CF/Glass hood

teal...DAMN that car is fast...i mean its hard to tell compared to a fast as hell T/A but i love ur sleeper mode on ur car right now

yea the video doesnt make me look too good because all you can hear is his car, and of course because his car is damn fast.

But i immagine he is going to be trapping 130+ or so when its all said and done so im not too upset :)
