SRT-4???? Did i just get my behind handed to me?

[1 RedHot TransAm]

I destroyed a black one that came up on my ass at about a 45mph roll, dunno what he had done to it but it was huff'in and making all sorts of noise I lined up with him 2 or 3 times at the same mph and kept gett'in him, and all I have is a a4,exaust,lid w/k&n and stock 3.23 gears, on the other hand I had a silver one burn me from a dig...

Those "gerbils" can manage to breathe pretty well! HAHA!

Two simple fixes:

1. Run him from a dig with your current setup -- should be MUCH closer (considering that you ran him right in his sweet spot).

2. Finish that N2O install -- a 100 shot at a roll will make a HUGE difference.

Alternatively, if you're really looking to have some fun, slap a stall and some gears in that A4 and you should start to close the gap a bit on a roll race.

I raced a stage 2 srt4 with a freshly rebuilt engine(guy blew up the last one lol). From a 50 roll to only 110-115. I was a completely stock m6 with 105k and it was dead even. If we went to 130+ I def would have put multiple lengths on him

just practice, you shouldnt need to do anything to beat him from a dig if you practice your launches

Help me if i'm wrong here, but, if i'm already driving at 60mph, in D (not OD), what else can i do to launch other than stomp on the gas?

dont race at 60mph in a stock a4

Okay; I know i'm asking for it.. but: why?

Its already been said by someone, but its probably the worst range for a A4, especially a stock one, where as its perfect for him. Try something like from 20 if you have to go from a role.

[ebdboudreaux]

Yea at 60mph a SRT4 is just getting into 3rd gear, it's prime....

[emoFTW]

yes gameboy advanced can be converted to be used as a tunning device.

[first01SS]

Talk about insult to injury.. When I saw that, I almost traded my car in the next day for a Z06 :-)

[tegaman111]

do not b 2 mad! he just beat u by a car length in your stock car. with just the free mods u would get him. if u get stall and nitrous install u would murder him!! remember once u mod and start racing it all a money pit from there!

[first01SS]

Naah, in the grand scheme of things, i ain't mad. At the end of the day, win or loose, i'll be driving an american revolution; T-Top, chick magnet. He'll be driving a loud a** neon. It was only embarrassing because i talked so much smack at our workplace before we raced. He said he's changing out his turbo in a few weeks. Should i be worried? Or do ya'll think N20 @ 125 shot will be good enough? I still can't believe his bottom end will hold all that power. It boggles my little 8 cylinder oriented brain..

[tegaman111]

ls1's love nitrous! get the nitrous, cam, stall, and other mods mention above and destroy him with his upgraded turbo and his game boy tune!

[first01SS]

I've got 2500 to spend; (in this economy, preferably less than that!) and i already have a N20 kit with a 150 wet shot (which is not completely installed yet, but it should be complete in a week or two.) the goal: cheaper is better, but i want to build a solid daily-driving beast... what are the best mods on that budget? I just scoped a lid, and smaller pulleys (is that the right word?) for the belts to gain crank power back...

[hutch1999]

do exhaust also

Refer to post # 7

Learn to drive the damn car, don't run his race or just go buy yourself a frigging NEON.

Stop embarrassing yourself with the same old questions just make him run your race and bust his ass.

[first01SS]

Thankx for your input. Ima run him again when the weather clears down here.

[Speedy_Gonzales]

clean your MAF ...........that should help alot if its dirty. Also here is what racing on the street will do

[first01SS]

Yeah, I like the track much better than street racing. I've never been much of a street racing fan.
