i raced my friend joes friend in a 91 3000gt vr4 with 79Kmiles and JIC exhaust, boost controller and maybe other stuff, idk, idt it has anything else done. but whatever, were gonna go again later this week, it wasnt very good/no video …we pull up next to each other on XXX road and slow to 30 in 2nd, 3 beeps, he jumps 1.5 car lengths ahead instantly and we continue to run to 80, he doesnt pull anymore, and it wasnt a very good race, so were going to go again later this week. and film it. we each ahd a passenger, takeoffs werent the best, traffic was behind us. it was 940, so later at night and somewhere else next time… …oh, and we then got chased down b a silver sti w/gold BBS and borla exhaust(prolly more) cause he pulled up next to the vr and they slowed a little bit, but the vr wasnt ready but the sti went(prolly in 3rd) and blew him out of the water because he was in 4th… ---

Its my friend he is here till sunday. He is running stock boost, which is 9 PSI , until he gets his car properly tuned for 14psi. Its a pretty fast car in a very rare color, its like a Fiji Blue. He will make it out to a couple of meets. ---

Also his VR4 is not slow once it gets going. It has the widest gears that I know of. He is hitting 80MPH in 2nd gear. ---

tell your buddy to stop doing 80 in 2nd… that is way out of the turbo’s efficiency range. ---
