So i was cruising home from work tonight and decided to cut through town to show off the new ride a bit. I saw a stang sitting off the road with a driver in it and just for fun i down shifted to spool and give him a little BOV action, i ended up accidentally spinning the tires in the process. Nowi must mention i am very new to the manual trans world and i've owned my '88 turbo now a couple weeks. A couple lights down he ended up pulling up to me at a red...i was kinda like crap...one, first gear i still have trouble with (its a stage 4 clutch), two, the engine only has about 350 miles on it so i couldn't push it much. So we continue down the road just playing...i'm spooling just enough as a tease plus we were still in town (45MPH zone). the next red light we went and rolled a bit then just took off. We were neck and neck but i don't think either of us full throttled it (at least i didn't). Finally the last light i asked him if he had a cobra cause it was freaking LOOOOUUUD and he said no, so the light turned green and it was up a steep hill we both just gunned it. We were neck and neck again full throttle (i think) until i missed 4th gear :cry: and he took off...i just let off to save the engine and gas...
It was fun, i didn't exceed 5K RPM simply cause it still is relatively new engine and i'm running richer than the oil company owners right now.
i'm running the 7m with very very untuned SAFCII, greddy controller spec 2 at about 8~10psi, .2 overbore, 3angle valve job ported, 3" turbo back, lex afm, 550's, walbro 255, HPfreaks intercooler, aero FPR, intake, and some other goodies ican't think of right now
Him, well....V8, seems like he chopped off his mufflers, and i would assume intake...other than that i have no clue besides the fact i'm now partially deaf in one ear
I've also been having a lot of trouble with the feul maps (i would think), sometimes theres a lot of power sometimes not during boost...i find when there is lack of power i let off the gas breifly and press down again and the power is much better...any ideas?
in all honesty the only thing this run accomplished was to make me want a BIGGER TURBO...argh...more money to spend
