All right guys i raced my town rivals cars tonight.. TEAM CYBERTECH... well a few of them... Some wouldnt race me.. to scared i guess... I met up with them they were all being cool..we talked then we decided where to run them so we got in the cars... while we were getting in i opened the trunk and the guy im gonna race yells..."yea you better make sure that bottles open... Fu_ck your 100 shot of nos and your ford racing short block.. It aint sh_it" then drove off... We got to where we were goin thenwe lined up... all his friends were there and his g/f...They had a flagger and like 2 or 3 videocameras recording the race.... I make sure my nos switch is armed...*I have a full trottle switch on the car* I rev it up to 2 grand.. he drops his handsi drop the clutch.... my rpms drop and i allmost stall out...I used the nos before in first and i spun the tires like there is no tomorrow so i wasnt trying to do that again...luckly the car didnt die... i stomp on the gas my car starts goin hes already a car ahead then my nos kicks in.. I catch him by the end of first.. shift to second slam on the gas i start pullin i get half a car ahead.. Shift to third stomp on the gas... pull atleast a car and a half ahead... then forth... i keep pullin bu the time i stoped it was at the end of forth... I was atleast 4 to 5 cars ahead...I burned his azz...Thats what he gets for talkin all that sh_it.... Then his friend was gonna race my friend... His car was a 350z whith who knows what?.. my friend has a Srt-4 with turbo back exhaust some a wastgate that makes him run 20 Psi on his turbo and a tune... I decide to pull up next to them and race too.. we are ready to go.. i almost stall again.. then takeoff.. at the end of first i was a car ahead of them thenby the time i was done i had to be atleast 8-10 cars ahead of both of them.. they were lil dots in my mirror.. it was fun... The funny thing is they thought they were gonna smoke me.. thats why they were recording... i doubt that videos gonna go on their web page..haha.. then the guy in the sti pulls up next to me and flips me off then i flip him off then he trys to fight so i leave.. What a sore fu_cking looser... they arent gonna talk Sh_it for a while now.. they will deny everything that happened though... but me and my friend all know the truth.. thats all that matters....haha yea
nice kill!

I developed a philosophy as I got older ..... Don't race the cars that I know will beat me - Don't need to race cars that I know I will beat.
Don't need to beat on my car over another car that I don't know if I will beat because if I win I'll feel like an *** for abusing my clutch etc. If I loose I’ll feel like an *** anyway…
Besides insurance is steep on a Stang and I don't want to sleep in jail with Bhubha

So I don't race much

Good kills. Do you have any form of FI or just NOS? Also I am surprised you killed that srt4 with it at 20psi, they are ugly as hell but pretty quick. Was the first car you talked about racing the sti?

the first race was the sti... as for the srt-4 if i dont use nos he will beat me in the long run... Ill beat him from 0-like 100-105 then he will start to pull and pass me.. its that turbo... but the nos makes up the difference between me and the turbo so he never catches up... my car is carburated.. not efi.. but on the nos kit it squirts extra fuel and nos into my motor...

nitrous by definition IS forced induction another thing nobody seems to understand is boost is a measure of resistance...that's it. this is why on a sc'd stang etc if you add better flowing heads/cam(s)/exhaust you will lose up to a few psi of boost on the guage but will gain horsepower! now the reason i said sc'd is because the wastegate of a turbo system will automatically maintain the set boost pressure so you would not see a decrease on the guage...whereas the sc'ers rpms (ie boost) is regulated by the pulley size. CFM's are what matters...not psi. now sure...if you're talking about the same turbo on the same engine combination the higher psi (within the turbo's efficiency range....that's another story) will produce more power. but again cfm's are what's important....so a neon running 20psi on the stock little turbo would likely get killed by another neon with a 50trim (pretty big for a 4cyl) running 12psi with all else equal. this is because the 50trim is moving a lot more air (cfm's) at 12psi than the stock turbo does at 20psi. got it...good
