well a few of you may remember from a while back me and my buddy are in a street race war. he has 06 z06 with the folling N/A Mods. cooks headers,custom cam, custom tuning. mcleod twin disc clutch, light fly wheel. stock run flats in front, perrelli 355-25-19 rear
he put down 550 rwhp on the dyno
my car . 06 srt c. dlm Stage 1 S/c. basically just the s/c on an other wise stock 06 coupe. running 6-7 lbs of boost.
my car dynoed at the same dyno at 620 rwhp but my s/c belt was slipping so i'm probably good for 30 more hp. so lets call it 650 rwhp. only other advantage i have are tires. 18 inch toyo ra1's all around.
now i raced my buddy many times when my car was stock. he already had the headers. he pulled me everytime. plus i had to feather the throttle,first and second. with the oem run craps
so now we square off. i figure i got almost 100 more hp. i sould be able to take him easy right? wrong
1st race. he dosnt get traction in first or second, so we decide to start the race rolling in second at about 60. I nail it, he nails it but he's fighting sum spinning. i hooked 100%. we go in to third and i'm just a half car infront. i have to shift in to 3rd before he does. i make a crucial mistake and dont take second all the way to redline which leaves me in third and just out of my power ban.
as i go into 3rd , he holds second to 7200rpm. and he hooks 3rd. at this point he sling shots past me by about 2 cars and all i can do is be deafened by his overpowering exhuast.(sounds like an f1 car at wot) i know i cant catch him as he is pulling strong so i shut it down at the end of 3rd.
ok, now we wait a few minutes and line up again. this time its in first.(i want to make him drive cause i know he's gonna spin)( he is an excellent driver also.)
so we are rolling in first , i'm at 3k rpm's. we both nail it. i hook no problem he is half a car back fighting the spin. i grab second, dont see him anywhere.(he was in my blind spot 1/2 car back) this time i take second all the way to redline, perfect shift. out of nowhere this bastard jumps in front of me 1/2 a car. we stayed that way till i reached top of 3rd then had to shut down due to road safety.
we go park the cars in the shade and let them cool for a bit. trying to figure out why he is pulling me as soon as he grabs some traction.
final race. this time i gotta win. using my sticky tires as an advantage we go from a dead stop. i had a great launch and new he was back there fighting his tires. i never looked back until i hit 4th. then i see him way back there. the [******] runs out of gas when we hit 3rd, so he was coasting. i know i had him that time, because and only because my tires hook awesome.
so now he's going down to an 18 in the rear and putting on the bfg DR's.
he ran an 11.3 at morroso on those perellies.
so is there that big of a difference between 650 rwhp N/A as opposed to S/C
his car is insane for only 550rwhp. once he puts on the drags , i dont think i stand a chance. and I'm a good driver, not as good as him, but, my car just hooks and goes in a straight line.
if you made it all the way to the botttom. I have a question for guys running the paxton on their srt. does doing a header and full exhuast make any difference. will it give me 40 more hp and some more bottom end?
thanks.
