Went on a power tour - A T/A kept up

[termin8r]

It was quite fun. I've only had my terminator for 2 weeks and already love it. Already have dyno numbers that are listed in the Sig.

Anyways, i went on a 30 car power tour the other night and ran into a really nasty sounding Trans Am with slicks out back. We went on a 50 mph roll and we were dead even in 3 consecutive pulls up to 110. My passenger knew he was running race gas and didn't know what else he had lurking under the hood. What does an LS1 F-Body need to keep up with a pulley, exhuast, and tuned Term?

regardless it was a fun evening. A couple of Turboed Terms were out there murdering, an old VW GTI with something big under the hood, a ton of LS1's, a few fast Honda's, and a group of Subarus, Fox Bodies, and whatever else was up for fun.

I think they need a h/c/i/e, maybe some juice. Just my guess though.

Nice run.

nah, no nitrous, just h/c/e and a good driver with race gas and slicks could definitly stick with a pullied terminator.

 

[TORNATIC!!]

A good H/C package with a good tune plus slicks, race gas, and the fact that they're lighter and more aerodynamic equals tough competition for a pullied Cobra.

Or just nitrous exhaust tune and tires.

Good runs,I love running cars that are close or dead even with mine.From my experience it takes somewhere around 50rwhp more to pull most F-body's cause of the weight difference.So going by your numbers he could be cam and bolt on's, or maybe a 150 shot with some bolt on's?That would be my guess.BTW your cobra looks great:rockon:

Just a neatly groomed mullet my friend. Never underestimate teh mullet:banana:

I'm sure exhaust and enough nitrous would help one hang or beat a pullied terminator. On the otherhand I beat up on a h/c/i LS1 so it really depends on the package.

In your case since you raced him from a roll I believe you have a bigger advantage because your weight is less of a handicap at higher speeds plus his advantage of having slicks is completely negated.

H/C or Just the the Juice
