I think your winning has alot to do the neon drivers inexperience with the car than anything. I've driven Jesse's SRT plenty of times and have a hard time adjusting to the car. Race the guy again in a few weeks when he gets used to shifting that beast and he'll probably pull on you a bit. But if you'd just buy an intercooler and tune that damn thing for 7-8 psi it could be interesting
And don't worry about blowing it up,, just an excuse for you to build it bigger and better.
Either way good kill!
Yea I don't see how I could be putting down that much power either thats what I am sayin! I know he can drive it good, I've ridden with him in it before though, he has had it for almost a month or so I'd say.. I asked him last night if he was runnin it hard, and he said he was runnin it all the way to 6k and his shifts were quick so :shrug:
When its full throttle in 4th gear there isnt much to it and I still pulled, your guess is as good as mine..
But its suprising the difference between different turbo setups can be on the same car.. If I had an FMU, log manifold, small turbo, shitty exhaust then that would have probably changed things.. I have a pretty decently designed manifold(copy off the SFP tubular manifold), a decent sized turbo, better management, and a 2.5" turbo back exhaust with external dump WG..
I've seen d series engines be vary as much as 30+ whp differneces at the same low psi depending on the whole setup
