So last night i was hanging out with some people at the local hangout and i see this 99-02 trans am pull up. I've seen him around before and have talked to him a little bit, but this time he raced me. He tells me hes all stock except for an exhaust and i didnt buy that at all. we get to the road and go from a 10 roll. I missed second and it was over immediately. Second race I tell him were going from a 30 roll. It was even until 4th then he got up on me by 2 car lengths. We get back and he informs me he was bull shitting about being stock except for an exhaust. He says he has an intake, aftermarket headers, and i think he said something about being bored ".030. I told him i knew he had something else besides an exhaust. I got his number and told him when i have a 3" dp, test pipe, and 4" catback. Not too bad though for a basically stock supra except an intake, bov, and megan racing muffler. I'll get videos of the next race. I guess the minivan and three trucks of people didn't get a video.

yea i raced a camaro ss, with bolt ons, and i had stock ct26, na 4.30lsd, bic ddp, full 3" exhaust, 14lbs, stock intercooler and stock piping, and i had drag radials, we raced from a stop and if i didnt have the drag radials and got out in front, he wouldve one, I had about two cars on him from the jump while he was spiing and held him off in 1rst and 2nd but top of 3rd gear he started realing me back in and continued to do so in 4th, but just werent able to real me back in be4 the 1/4 mark.
do not sleep on them man, they are quick., about the same weight as our cars and make tons of trq

That must be stock, or his shit is REALLY slow. Most full exhaust LS1s fbodies trap about 110mph.
my plans for this week are to get the exhaust on, get rid of my hks recirculated bov and put the stock one on and use a turbo xs rfl bov, and turn my boost up to 10 psi then ill talk to him and see what happens. ill make sure we get a video this time.

Get ready to put on your flame suit
LS1 is a beautiful thing, just like the 2J 
Just exhaust on your car is not going to help against a V8 like that, you need some more mods but good fun all and all

Why do you need a guage? You should know the puurring sound of a 7m @6000 rpm.. :icon_razz
Nice run though!
its hard to hear my car because the trans am is so loud! And i got the 4" exhaust because i am eventually getting a bigger turbo and dont want to buy a 3" if im going to get a 4" anyway.

it may benefit you to leave it off and learn where to shift from the motor,,, the closer you are with your car, the better. being a part of your car is just as important as the mods that it has.

if backpressure is greater than boost you lose volumetric efficiency which is NOT good. You want crossover where boost is higher than backpressure which means higher VE. If you have to much backpressure you have reversion where the exhaust gets pumped back into the engine during overlap. This makes your internals hot and can cause detonation and out of control combustion.
plus all the backpressure is between the engine and the turbo. any backpressure after the turbo hurts your turbo flow.
