When I ran my car, My tune was WAY too rich (for example, The run before I trapped 106, I was trapping only 100 cause I was so rich…i leaned it out a little, and I trapped 106)…I pulled a 2.2 60’ and Had to let off down the strip and hit the gas again twice because my tranny doesnt shift…I had a master power T70 that didnt spool up nearly as fast as my turbonetics T72…All these factors add up…Now I have a much better turbo, Much better tune…and my tranny doesnt affect me as much on highway runs as if we were going through all the gears…my car trapping 120+ how it sits right now?? I think not…AT MOST I would say 112-115…but from a dig my tranny keeps me from achieving those traps…highway, when im mostly in 1 gear (my 3rd gear goes from (75-125) it pulls nice. Down low, if my tranny doesnt fuck up (1 out of every 10 runs)…it will snap your neck 1st-2nd…I feel as if my car pulls a ton more harder down low, then it does up top. My injectors are maxed, I have Methanol I need to hook up, A 3" cutout to put on (I have a 3" downpipe going into a 2.5" catback, Talking about suffocating my turbo on top end!)…I need some MT drag radials…a new tranny, shift kit and torque converter… $2500.00 more then MAYBE we can see some impressive traps out of her **Note: We both had issues with our cars last night…The whole time we were running, my SES light was blinking (engine missfire) Pulled back into the parking lot and hooked up my laptop…cylinder 1 missfire…** ---

wow… i leave for 8 hours and look what happens. i checked boost on my way home last night. i was between 19-20 psi… its tuned to 22.5 psi… so i was low on boost, ALSO im now trying to push everything through a STOCK exhaust… i was tuned on a full 3" exhaust… thats prolly dragging me down by 20hp right there… on and heres the kicker… i had 3 people in my car…andrew had 2 people in his… neither car was really “track prepped”. ive got 2/3 exhaust gasket leaks which is hurting spool and overall power right now and im pushing out antifreeze somewhere… im gunna shit a chicken if i popped a head gasket. right now… my car prolly wouldnt trap more than 110 with 1 person in it… im sayin last night… 105mph capabilities… but we did run from 65/70-150 ---

> [@K-20power](#): > > The Camaro has no more stuttering, a bigger turbo(ball-bearing now) and hasn’t run at the track yet… i don’t know how much of a difference in trap those things will make but it has to help something. my bigger turbo alone, will prolly increase my trap 3-4mph over my old turbo…then throw my 3" cutout on that, and people with my similar setup on my old turbo are seeing as much as a 5mph increase on traps with the cutout open. ---

i raced the sti last night and he smoked me, and i probably trap around 107, when the sti and v6turbo raced they were neck and neck one race and the sti beat him by a car length on another race, so i believe that the v6t would trap a lot higher than 107, it def feels a lot faster than my car. ---

Why bring up the stage 3 S4? No one is talking about that so quit bringing more and more cars in here…i could bring up the big block procharged S10 to run everything if i wanted, but i don’t want any embarassments going on. We’re talking the big bad GTI, Turbo Camaro, K20, M3, STI. why do you always go back the “defendng your buddy”… i was saying shit, but you guys just kept not aknowleding what ihad to say… i don’t care what people have to say at the lot, my k20 will trap 120, my sti traps 120+ if i do this to my car it will run \*\*\* at \*\*\*\* blah blah, theres a difference between saying you’ve done it and you will do it. the only reason i brought up the s4, because thats what I personally can comapre the GTI to. you guys are hounding the guy over what you guys think the car will run… get your facts straight before you start shit… honestly… ---

> [@GranMassaX](#): > > if the STi is supposedly capable of trap speeds of 120 and the camaro has done a trap of 107 and they raced on the highway and they were very close… that would leave us to believe that the STi is def not a 120 mph trap car, right? exzactly what i was trying to say. ---

Sti trapping 120 is is probably near 400AWHP. ---

> [@Shawn96VR-4](#): > > Way too much bench racing in this thread. agreed… my car has NOT been to the drag strip. everything is pure speculation at this point. however i DO know that of the 3 cars that ran last night none were in 100% running order so we wont know their full potential. its time we all get our shit together because spring time and track season is rapidly approaching. ---
