or you just go buy a R35 GTR and call it a Day.

or just keep the s2k stock looking with a cut out

i thought that with 400whp it'd be an easy kill with the R8. coz mine at 359whp is faster than an r8 through the first 4 gears. but i have my car weight reduced from many aspects.

good runs anyways. have fun safely and dont under estimate a 4 banger

400 whp in a 2700-2800 lb RWD sports car should be quicker than ~400 whp in a 3500-3600 lb sports car even with AWD.

Eeeek! Well, what kind of supercharger kit do you have?

OMG VTEC

Peak horsepower doesn't always accurately depict how fast a car is. Power under the curve is very important. An inline 4 with a centrifugal supercharger is peaky and does not make a lot of power under the curve.

Actually you have that wrong. CARB is a california certification process to make certain modifications legal. What you got was a ticket to verify that the mods on your car are indeed CARB certified and have not been tampered with. By tampered with I mean you can't be running a 12psi pulley on a kit that was certified on 7 or 8 psi or run 1000cc injectors when the kit was released with something else.

Basically the cop had his doubt's and now they will find out.

You are screwed because
A. AEM ecu doesn't support ODBii. Really should have went Kpro, you might have had a chance.
B. you are running way more boost than a stock kit.
C. Your exhaust is definitely illegal. Catalytic converter removed in cali = bad idea.

I only bother with this post in case someone reads it in the future looking for CARB info in Cali. You CAN have CARB certified mods, you just can't change them from how they come from the manufacturer.

your theory is correct. However, im talking from my first hand experience

i'm the most impressed with your run with the stage 3-ish b5 S4. those things are monsters with the turbo swap. if he's truly making 460awhp he should have all the fuel upgrades as well...those things are stupid fast. very good showing for your s2k to keep up and even beat him up top.

Haha that's exactly what it was! I tried to refrain from saying any sort of "Stage" as it can be so relative.

The video of the botched race is already uploaded on the internet, however, I'm going to refrain from posting it until the race with a better start is uploaded.

I guess my buddy uploaded the botched start because my car sounded better in that video or something.
