89LX Coupe

Basically as the title says Me vs some cocky *** kid around here with a vortech new edge gt 5sp on 6psi. His car put down 352whp (don't know what kind of dyno) but it's basically stock other then midpipe catback and the supercharger.....

I got a 87 gt Mods: LT's and off road mid pipe mac catback, cai, 75mm maf, 70mm tb, explorer intake, 1.7 rr's, udp's, e-fan, aluminum ds, and 3.73 gears with a 4cyl tranny and I was running on 26x8.5 M&H racemasters from 1992 and Just went 12.82@105.92.

Quick little back story about 2months ago the Kid came out he had a 90LX hatch that wasn't too far from stock other then 4.10's cai, mid pipe and catback, with drag lights. He wanted to run me something bad and I was open header on my longtubes (just got them put on) and we ran and I put about 2-3 bus lengths on him.......

Well now he sold that and got this GT stang and is High on his horse.... Someone asked if he wanted to run me and he said that me and my car isn't **** for him....

So from a Dead stop run 1/4 (My car almost runs out 4th gear in the 1/4) he's on some street tires and me on a cheater slick how do you think it will be?? The kid says he can bag some gears but I couldn't really tell you and I highly doubt he can launch worth a damn... Also if I was to give him a roll race it would be about a 10-15mph run so how do you think that would go as well?

he'll prob get you from anything over a 40 roll, you trap what? 106? he's prob trapping in the 109-113 rang you should get him from a dig for a little ways though. if ya wanna be safe, if its non ic just make him drive around a bit before going to the spot..that should take 20rwhp away from him due to heat soak

Yea it's a non intercooled kit, the way I've been looking at it If it's from a dig he's definitely got to catch me and I almost think that he won't be able to, but from even a slow roll I'm just hoping he spins bad enough to where I can hold him off..... If he does run me I'm not doing anything over a 40 roll just b/c I know how that will turn out haha.

I remember hearing about this kid. Must be cousins with the cat in the Mach, haha. I say just pick a mph to run to and thats it. Then make his a$$ try and drive around you

I say you'll kill him from a dig, but from a roll he should get you pretty good.

89LX Coupe

Lol yea just about as ignorant as the kid in the Mach 1, but about 110 is gonna be the max we can run to b/c by then I'm out of gear haha.

Even from a 10mph roll?? I figure I could jump out hard enough to make it real interesting by the end..... How bad is your "pretty good"?? Win or loose I'll make him work for what ever out come there is lol

IDK. You have the advantage from a dig.
Want to really knock him off his high horse, ask him if he wants to go against a little Neon (with car seats in the back). haha

89LX Coupe

Oh we could set that up!!! I know he wants to run everybody from a 40-50 roll lol so you would be in the good for sure!! I know the car has been out ran by a neon with a 50trim on 20psi with the previous owner

You will definitely have him from a dig. On street tires there is no way he is going to hook. Although I wouldn't be surprised if his car doesn't trap more then 108mph. 6psi on a non intercooled setup. My car makes 400rwhp on 9psi intercooled. Especially if his car is pretty stock (minus the blower obv) he is probably making more along the lines of 320rwhp.

I know when the previous owner had it it was suppose to make 352whp but don't know how true that is, but still stock 3.27 gears, tb, plenum, exhaust manifolds... And the rev limiter had been moved up to 6600 for some reason haha.
