Default Had some fun after a meet.

Hello guys,

Well had a few runs after the meet. Wanted a rematch with this k20a hatch because when I ran him a few weeks back my vortech water pump was out and I had a 200lb passenger. Needless to say, tonight I put a healthy 3-4 cars on him 3 times. Then Brilliant and I had a run with his Greddy AP1. He was at a disadvantage with his passenger. He is tuned at 9pi and I am un-tuned at 7psi with 4.57's.

The camera car in all three videos is the Greddy AP1

nice runs!! if you would've took her to 140mph+, you would've put multiple bus lengths on the Greddy S2K.

I will be running the 3.9" pulley (13.5pi or so) next month.

I have a custom 3" single and a 3" testpipe. Without a pasenger he would have been a lot closer. I think the gears made a big difference. At every speed I am like 800 rpms higher than him

that vortech s2k had gears which help out ALOT.
also, the drivers may have different skill levels.


but if you wanna do some highway racing, the greddy is not for you. centrifugal supercharger kits have more potential for top end power`
