yeah that is exactly the difference; after taking some people for a ride yesterday i had fully grown men calling uncle by the top of third.
It’s a trade off… you want to be quick or you want to be fast?
For my personal driving style…I’ll trade a little lag for some top end grunt any day of the week.
Bing – jack the boost and you’ll have some more fun.

i love the logic,
Bing’s SR ran a 14.0 over a year ago with a stock turbo, stock boost, and a stock cat the first time he ever drove on the track.
so now 14 months later with a bigger turbo, more boost, test pipe, and other mods it should still be in the 14’s…
unless there is serious driver error my car should be running mid to low 13’s which is what yours runs too isnt it?
anyways, i wouldnt rag on your KA-T anyways, its one of the nicest 4 KA-t’s in the province. in that four i include in no particular ranking: Adam hutchinson’s, adam jantos’, phil’s old KA-T, and Ken Lageraec’s.[/quote]
g-tech showed me in at 13.3 1/4 mile usuakky accurate within a tenth of a second, on my first try, 9psi , stock motor, untuned, and ghetto in my drivway with minimal cashola, seems pretty good to me , and im not running a huge turbo yet… 
i think generally people are always faster on the street than on the strip
my white car did a 13.1 on the rsm gp but i garuntee you at the strip it woulda been around 13.6 at best
its all about trap speed if you want to compare the cars, so lets go with that
bing what was your 14 sec trap?
for 300rwhp i think KA is best actually
couple reasons
A) the engine is already in the car and is known to run well, many srs will never run as well as their stock KA did.
B) you know this engine’s condition, whereas an SR you are getting may be a heap of shit
C) the extra .4L of displacement really gives you a smoother powerband
that being said i like the SR because:
A) it sounds fucking BADASS with a good exhaust
B) when its running good you cant blow that shit up (dont bring me up, because it wlil show how uneducated you are)
C) if you get a good motor its like starting fresh with a very low KM KA, sweet.
I think if the KA-T community was as established as it is today when i got my S14 i woulda pulled the motor put hg pistons rods and gotten a good kit for the KA, jantos’ car is a good example of an SR worthy KA. very clean with good components, excpet for the fact that his turbo is way too big for racing.

civilized sucks, raw power is where its at, the sr’s are no doubt pretty fast, but in the end to each his own, everyone has there own opinion on the two turbos the t25 and the t28, personally i think both suck
i would personally like to see a td06H 20g on an sr and see what it does[/quote]
TD06H 20G huh?..lol You might just get a chance to see that soon there Hector.
H, i drove your car, its nice.
but if that is a 13.3 car then mine is a 11.1…lol
dont get me wrong, your car is surprisingly nice.
surprisingly nice ?? wtf does that mean, i see that as a bit of an insult or a compliment … depends what you say… cuz ill wait before i fly off the handle
you know most guys would have by now let you know that they had 0 compression on cylinder 4 and a blown headgasket as an excuse for the speed of there car , and yes those problems were there before she even came on the road
well stayed side by side with an sr that ran 13.1 on street tires , my 9psi stayed with his 16psi,
dont forget you drove my car with the fifth injector shooting an extra 750 cc into the motor and was tuned really crappy and on a super hot day
i also smoked an svt cobra that ran 13 flat and i beat him by a car and a half
so i think im doing pretty good for my surprisingly nice car :lol:
well it doesnt matter the proof is in the pudding we will go at it and have some fun , ill put my car tuned properly and at the same boost up against a t-25 or t-28 any day with my little t-03b. and you will have one day and one day only at the dragstrip to go up againt my car cuz that is the last day she will ever roll under its own power… seee you at the track, unless you dont have enough
Let’s set a date for this. Cayuga meet next Friday perhaps?
t25 and t28 are shit turbos
and the s14 and s15 t28s are not the same, the s15 t28 has a different compressor and exhaust turbine design which is more efficent from a differnet manufacturer, and it has a wastegate devider.
i am in as long as the car is out of impound
Story?
car is in impound end of story, ok ok ok fine , i told ur mom to keep her head down but she didnt listen, swirved when i was done and bam a cop saw me and he thought i was drunk
Hahaha…
she was ducking from missles?
missles? buddy it was a freaking meteor shower, the baby batter dispenser was on overdrive while hitting the boost scramble button, it was like a pearl necklace factory exploded
