Thumbs up can I beat this?

can i beat a mitsu vr4 with, Stillen Downpipe, Intake, Gutted Pre-cats, Greddy Profec B II Boost Controller, Greddy Turbo Timer, Turbo XS RFL BOV, Auto Meter Boost gauge and A/F gauge.


i don't like to street race so i was just going to take him to the track, he thinks i'm scared of him or something.


i have comptech blower w/ fmic @ 5psi, invidia exhaust. i'm making around 290 -300 whp.

i know i have the weight advantage. since they weight like 4000 lbs

With just a Stillen Downpipe, Intake, Gutted Pre-cats, and a Greddy Profec B II Boost Controller, yes you can beat him.

Because he has a Greddy Turbo Timer, Turbo XS RFL BOV, Auto Meter Boost gauge and A/F gauge, no you will lose

J/k , depends on if you can drive.

What is your best ET at the strip? With his mods if he can't atleast pull a 12.5 then he's not driving the car right. Either way race him for fun and see who wins. Good luck and good idea about taking it to the track.

I honestly do not know who would end up winning. I've had an urge to run a VR4 for the LONGEST time (16 months, 2 weeks, 6 days to be exact). I honestly think it would be a pretty good match-up, almost a drivers race.
Just a question, but why havent you upped to the 7psi pulley yet?

I agree with Black Nugget...

Looking at his mods again i would say if he has a healthy car he should have around 300awhp. Which usually will net a 12.5-12.9. If you race on the highway you will most likely take him, racing at the track will only play into his advantage with the awd, unless of course your running slicks or drag et's.

Are you going to be challenging him before or after you upgrade the pulley?
