There is no way a 97mph trapping SE-R is pulling these big V8’s this hard, like the Mustang, that must’ve been a horrible driver or something because the 07 GT i beat with exhaust, tune, and intake…he trapped 104mph. I beat bfol’s 335xi by about a fender. Dunno what he traps but i’m guessing 104-106mph. now a “V8” camaro (only reason i put it in quotes is because we don’t know the motor code i.e L98, LT1, LS1)… I can understand you pulling an L98 Camaro 82-92…MAYBE a stock LT1 Camaro, but if this is the one i’m thinking of that i know thats white with orangeish stripes it’s an LT1 Camaro 93-97, it’s NASTY and most likely was not racing. ---

Yeah new body style is LS1 so it couldn’t have been that LT1 joe was talking about. You never know though… some people with manual cars just plain don’t know how to drive them… or they are driving a beat high mileage LS1 that has probably seen better days. There are too many variables that come into play here. ---

im sorry kramer, BUT… even beat ass ls1’s would pull ur altima. drews ls1 was running on 7 cylinders and trapped 106. if it was a v8, it WAS NOT racing… and if it was a v6, they were gay for even buying the car much less trying to race it. ---

A good example of a beat LS1… Paul’s automatic LS1…116k miles, traps 107mph i still don’t think, as well as quite a few others, that the SS was on 7 cylinders that night trapping 106 just because that is about right for a mostly stock LS1. ---

Did I know before I ran it was misfiring? No, or else I wouldnt have ran it. ---

he trapped 107 stock…and it went 1mph slower with a different owner. If it was on 7 cylinders it would’ve been trapping WAY lower than 1mph off what the previous owner did. ---

If it was on 7 cylinders it would’ve been trapping WAY lower than 1mph off what the previous owner did. uh, what?? it went 1mph slower with some decent power mods??? Headers/full exhaust wake these cars right up…look at pauls for example… do the math, it makes sence…more mods, and a slower trap…the car was running like shit…and once again, I wasnt aware of this… O yah…Tony ran my car once and trapped 106 @ 13.6…I ran it once and went 13.9 @ 106. Also, your acting like cylinder 5 was a complete dud?? It had 55psi, so it was still making a little power out of that cylinder. for example… look at when I raced your grandfathers bolt on C5…John was in the car, he was a witness. My car was Misfiring as I was racing you…and that was 2 weeks after I ran at lebanon. ---

No, you’re acting like it was a complete dud making it sound like the car would’ve been trapping 110+ with it “normal”… I don’t see how you did this compression test like 2 weeks after you ran the car at the track when it could’ve been running better at the track, you’re just assuming it was on 7 cylinders because of the poor trap for whatever reason. iirc the headers weren’t on the car at the time of the 106 trap either, and are you considering the SLP exhaust a full exhaust? ---

The car threw a code 3 days after I fuckin bought it. I went and had it scanned, and it was a Bad cat. converter on the driver side. I cleared it, it went away and didnt come back for another 100 miles…SES came back, went and had it scanned and this time It was a bad cat/cylinder misfire on cylinder 5… I thought it was a false misfire As I did everything myself (minus the compression check) to try to fix it…I even brought it to johns shop the day after lebanon and he scanned it, and cylinder 5 had something like 40,365 counts of misfires…kinda odd having that many counts of misfires as the code was just cleared 2 days ago, the day before lebanon… my car is a SLP SS. IT HAS A FACTORY FULL SLP EXHAUST. its a 3" catback, upgraded from the factory…I just added the headers, and the 3" Y pipe…didnt hafto touch the catback since it was already 3"… at the time, i did NOT know the car was running on 7 cylinders until I did the compression test…I know the whole time that the car was running on 7 cylinders because the code for cylinder 5 was up…not to mention, cylinder 5 had a hole in the piston…it was fucked from the day I bought it argue with me all you want…I will go right back at ya for a week straight. ---

Im not here to bust anyones balls or be a dick, but IMO it wasnt “running on 7 cyl”, it had 1 inefficient cyl, which didn’t make too much of a difference(other than idle and stumbling here and there). My buddy had the same prob on his car, did the C/P and 1 cyl was wayy down, but still Et’d and trapped the same as a stock car should. Honestly if your #5 cyl was at 55pts compression you mayy have picked up .25-.75 mph(tops) with a normal operating cyl 5.
