'00 Z28 Vs. Evo 8

[MikeSomething]

Tonight Tom killed me in his "Electric Blue" Evo 8... Vids soon to come. I also raced a modded STi who beat me by one car length, and a '02 Mustang GT w/ a intake and exhaust which I beat from a stop and a 40mph roll. Great bunch of people to mess around on the road w/...

[LS1Power06]

[SeVeReDiStOrTiOn]

That's what ya get for having a hypertech tune and a blowmaster;)

Close, but not quite right. I wish i had injectors, i only have a fuel pump. Im only on 19lbs. Utec-crappy tune (running really rich), boost is not consistent either. I also blew out my external wastegate dump gasket, so it kinda leaks out the up-pipe sometimes. But thats it,i have all sorts of bushings and stuff, and other gizmos, nothing fancy though.

It was really fun Mike, you should come down more often, youd have a lot of fun, i know a bunch of us will be out there tonight. I was so mad at myself when i bogged :sillyme: off the line. :thumbdn: to winter tires lol. Yea, it was a really good race, i thought we were going to be dead even. If you ever want, call me up, ill PM you my cell, im always out.

My bad, I thought you told me you had injectors for some reason, I was thinking EVO boost... 21psi lol

[SeVeReDiStOrTiOn]

Sounds like a awesome race you guys had:yup:

Mikesomething you need to rethink your mods though...you could of got a used ls6 intake manifold for what you paid for that MAF...if you bought the MAF new that is. Flowmasters are really restrictive, if I was you i'd ditch it or get a qtp cutout. Also hypertech....eh....not so great. With the ls6 manifold..better catback and tune you should be able to walk'em up top...depending on how bad they beat you in your current form. Also port your TB

Flowmasters are gonna be switched over to Magnaflow...Only paid $200.00 for the MAF from a guy on here, so I made out. As far as tuning, u suggest a Diablo Predator, LS1edit, or me going crazy looking for a Dyno Tune?

You 2 man, I'm gettin more stuff done to it, especially since I know now that SLP is RIGHT THERE!!! LoL!

Depends on how far deep your future mod plans go....for a basic bolt-on car the predator is awesome. You can get a custom tune through the predator for bigger mods also. I'd definatly get a dyno tune if you do FI or H/C in the future though.

I think you'll like magnaflow...it kinda grows on you though. WOT sounds great and lower rpms have a good tone and isn't obnoxiously loud...seems to sound better the longer it's on too:think:

Yeah I think its better I dont have an LS1 because theyre so close theyd just OWN my Amex card. They do have a dyno there too so you should check them out. I belive that kid Mark with the SS got his head/cam package installed and tuned there.

BTW do you have vids? My friend has them from my car but says their kinda dark.

Mike, stop throwing you're money away. Find a good machine shop (if you can't find one, lemme know). Have you're stock heads worked properly. For that $200.00 that you forked over for the MAF, I could have gotten you a used (but good) LS6 intake w/ matching cam. My buddies run a local boneyard (being that you don't really mind buying parts that are already used)...

[Raced Guy]

Evo with bolt ons and 272's =low 12's, good runs !

Awesome, I appreciate it. I was wonderin if I should just hold out and save for the FAST intake manifold and TB? I can't install the Cam myself and my mechanic offered to install it for $975.00 for the 13hrs labor. Anyother suggestions man?

I didn't get anything on tape man. Your friend got some good footage of me beating the Stang I saw, anything you can send my way would be great, thanks again Tom!

Although I'm sure you're mechanic is a good guy, I would never encourage someone to throw away one thousand dollars towards a simple cam swap. Also, "FAST" is very overrated. Believe me when I tell you that you're stock heads and throttle body will easily support the horsepower that you're looking for (after the heads are worked, and TB is ported).

Focus you're attention on getting the power to the pavement. Spohn torque arm, Koni shocks, bigger meats out back, etc. Then focus you're attention on the valvetrain. I'm running a stock LS1 with an SLP lid, K&N filter, FRA mod, and stall speed converter... and I absolutely raped a burnt orange SRT4 the other night on Route 9. Again, my LS1 is bone stock, and I barely had any traction. What good would be adding more and more, when I can't even get what I already "got" to hook? ;)

Get the power that you already have to the ground. As for installing the cam, I'm a true DIY'er. We'd be more than happy to help you out anytime bro.... :D

I know what you mean w/ the traction problems... Please PM me about a cam...Thanks again man!

Mike if you want me to send the vids, let me know. I have them on putfile.

[ss~zoso~ss]

dude post them up on this site, we all want to see them

There are 3 races, 2 with Mike and 1 with another EVO. The one vs Mike on the line, I didnt launch but when I hooked he was spinning hard. Roll on with him was from 2nd. EVO race was 3rd gear roll-on

[1 of 122]

Looked like fun...good stuff. :drivin:

Don't get the fast stuff dude..too much money for the minimal gains over the ls6 manifold and a good TB port job with your mods. And you can install a cam yourself....just set aside 2 days off in a row in case you need the extra time...and follow the write up on ls1howto.com. You can save that grand and put some of it towards a new timing chain, oil pump, springs, pushrods...and still have some left over.

Yea...pffff...didn't beat me to bad huh? LoL! You should post up me and the Stang...

[Quicksilver]

I love rice

[toneloc60]

wow. so basically you couldn't have parked your car, let him get out and run from you on foot and be beaten that badly.

Sorry, but that was a KILL! Way to be a sport about it though. Props to you.

[TransAmMan]

Videos don't work anymore. STi and evo 8's are far from Rice quicksilver. Rice is when things are untastfuly and over done. As far as I'm concerned they're cars are clean and if they have some comestic things done they have the performance to back it up.

Vids work now. Putfile.com was down for a little. Thanks for the comment on rice, I feel the same way. :yup: Civics with unpainted body kits and stock wheels are rice to me. I just shake my head when I see them :(

[Gonad]

Thats one bad ass EVO you have there..:yup: :drivin:

[SeVeReDiStOrTiOn]

Good kill EE1983...put like what...a train length on him:lol: What do you run in the 1/4 EE? By the original post I thought he lost by a few lengths...saw the video and I was like dayyuuummm!! You're gonna need full bolt-on's and maybe a decent cam to catch him mikesomething...stall if you're an auto

Having traction problems... I'm workin on it...

[EE1983]

Thanks for the compliments. I have no 1/4 times yet, I will when the track opens in March hopefully. It should go high 11s in the 116-118 range. However, Im on stock clutch (40k on it btw!) so I have to baby it off the line then just nail it in 1st (like in the video). Id love to just dump it at 6k.

[Snorman]

Looks like the floormat was stuck under the gas pedal of the Z.

Thanks for the constructive criticism...

[Snorman]

Hey...could have been worse, you could have taken me up on my offer for a race a few months ago.

Think of it this way, it gives you a reason to want to go faster.
