My brother and I have been going at it all winter about who's car is faster, he has a 1990 T-Bird Supercoupe, running roughly 14-15 PSI with a smaller pulley on a stock blower (About maxed out) with an upgraded intercooler, shift kit and 3.23's.
I've drove the car, it's not as slow as I thought so I was a little worried.
My Z is pretty much stock except for 3" from the cat back....so I think.
So I got him to take it out yesterday, it was probably 30 degree's out so I figured his S/C would benefit.
I followed him out onto a 2 lane highway that isnt used much and told him we'd do a 40 roll since its so cold and neither of us would of had traction from a dig.
We get up to 40 or so, 3 honks and my car instantly jumps a car ahead of his and begins to pull away, by 5 seconds I was 3 and by the time I hit 80 to 90 mph he was in my rear view mirror probably 5-6 cars behind me.
I kinda feel bad because on the Super Coupe forum he's on the guys have been telling him up and down he'll waste my "Little LT1" because its not an LS1 but then again it is kind of funny how people doubt these cars.
He wouldnt talk to me for over an hour and claims I have more done to it than just a little exhaust work. :laugh:
Track opens next month so were going to run them there but I'm not too worried, mainly because I'll have at least a K&N intake and a 100 shot by then.
Next will be LT's, true duals, dual cutout's and a yank 3600 stall, although I'd like to run my car the way it is just to see what it run's.
Anyway nothing impressive, just the highlight of my day :D
We will see :cool:
