    Sry but i would have to see it in person to believe it even with a roockie rider that gsxr1000 is 1 bad ass bike unless it was an older 1 cause i no it wasnt a 2004 and up. unless u got a low 9 sec car..
    I check sluts off my list like a maintnence man
    I drive a low is3 just so it gives me a reason to drive super slow on these rough ga roads.

    It is what it is. Whether or not he was a good rider or not,he still raced me and lost! We ran 4 or 5 time's and the outcome was the same!It is just possible my car hook's and is that quick!!!

    i see TONS of bikes at SDR ....dunno what size they are but seldom are they faster than my car and I am only running low 10s. Most cant 60' for shit...they bog real bad or wheelie...and then let out and just kill the 60' time. An experienced track rider is VERY different than the avg crotch rocket rider who usually does the 60-160 kick. Go to any dragstrip and watch the street bikes.....you will get to see tons of 9 sec bikes run 10s and 11s.
    Chris went 6 speed because it was a quick fix. He did not want the car to be down for a few weeks/month and that is understandable. Maybe after the "new" wears off his new toy he might be able to have the car down for a bit . For now, he just wants to drive!!!

    i think jealousy is playing a big part in this thread. are you mad that his car can out run a 1000? Do not be jealous, be envious.

    like some1 else said in this thread, most riders are moderate at best.

    I am just curious on what you did to those Nitto's to get them to hook on the street putting 750+ rwhp to them? And this was through a manual tranny too? I am assuming that the 15 mph was also 1st gear unless I missed something but Nitto's suck dick if you have over 250 rwhp even at the track so what's the secret?

    Not trying to start a flame war but holy miracle maker getting those tires to hook is impressive as hell.

    Ah and as far as the jealous comments are concerned, don't bring that in my direction because if I wanted a vette I would already have one.

    Isn't your vette the twin turbo'd one that hangs at Gwinnett from time to time?

    So what's the deal with Grayson Tire and Auto? Just curious since I live fairly close to there (assuming it is near Loganville) and use several different tire companies. Never been there but curious about your sig.

    PM me if need be.

    Bugman, a lot of us questioned the traction with nittos and i think i have the answer. I think he was blowing thru up top with the auto converter he had before but it prolly made for killer spool down low. I am thinking now with the manual, it is not making nearly as much boost down low as it was with the auto. If it is like my turbo, first gear is pretty controllable as the boost comes on slow and linearly. I did some tuning yesterday on my car and even 5psi was a spinfest in 2nd gear...on regular hard tires which makes me think his boost delivery is a lot smoother now. believe me, i asked him and his fabricator face to face last night about it....dont think he is lying ...just stating that for whatever reason it is hooking. The track will be the big tell tale. lots of ls1 guys have probs building boost with a manual so it would make sense that he could hook down low now

    Ok.... Do you think they Pulled Boost out ?... And Do you really think if he posted this BS on another Forum He wouldn't be called out on it... You just said yourself you did not beleave him... Thats why you asked his Fabricator face to face... .. Come on man, Ether he don't make the 700whp or he has a one of a Kind Vette that Hooks 700+whp in 1st and 2nd Gear on street tires...

    i dont think they pulled boost out...i think no stall and a 6 speed with pretty big turbos are spooling much slower now....making a lot less power down low and allowing him to hook. I did not beleive he has the exact same power curve and is hooking that down low on Nittos. I believe he has the same peak numbers but not nearly as much down low and that could be hooked on nittos from a roll. They didnt do a retune for the 6 speed and i guarantee you the a/f is way fat down low now and killing some power and spool down low. Really think about what i just said.....it makes sense. Chris doesnt do his own tuning and he has no reason to lie...I believe him....just took a few moments to rationalize how its possible

    oh its a camaro ss...not a vette and yes he would be called out on it on other boards if he posted it.

    I understand your point completely.... ... With the car not being tune makes this story even better... So He had the 6spd installed, the car is Pig Rich down low, Not building any Boost !!... Did they even Check the A/F ? That car could be 9:1 and them not even know !!... Yes I know the A/F will pick up once the car Builds Boost... .. Well that would explain not spinning the Tires, Hell it don't have any power... ... But I still don't see that car out running a 1000, Not from a Dig or even a slow 15mph roll.. At 15mph is more in the Bikes favor... :boobies: ...

    You are correct Jerry. The car has not been retuned and is pig fat.( 1 CIVIC)You can ask ZU later and 198 plus. Last night I ran both of them and the car did not spin.After it is retuned it might possibly ,but as of now it dosn't! i realize that my car will pick up about 15% going to a 6 speed,but if I posted i would gain another 100rwhp you would of called bs on that also,so i was being conservative. If you would like to come out and run me ,You can see for your self!!!!No boost has been pulled out.When I was at the track I had the automatic with a stall converter. There is such a thing called (TORQUE MULTIPLICATION) in a stall.There is none in a 6 speed.That is how I was able to spin in second with the auto and Jerry probably explained it the best in his previous post.Believe me if I can find the guy this weekend I will see if he want's to run again and I will get it on video for Ya!! I have nothing to prove to you (1 Civic) as I was racing when you were in diaper's!!

    IMHO your prob at 780-790whp just by switching the trans.

    i know the supra guys are at least 15% between the 6 speed an the TH400s

    Chris, watch that a/f up top...dunno how much more power its making now but just in case, watch it for leaness as I am sure you are. I might get some nittos next time. my regular tires dont last long anyway so not really any difference from mileage standpoint. I wish I could buy your rear prostars/tires but I told you about the wifes new job

    i am gonna guess 27....haha...i just looked at your profile AFTER i typed 27.....I guessed by the fact that you comprehended the fat a/f...slow boost/no power and that you knew 9:1 a/f was way fat....but you had a screen name with civic in it so I was close if your profile is correct.

    on bike's it's all about the rider, from digs, in turns, down low, up top is only when playing field levels out of man vs machine.

    hunter's car had no probs getting traction. one must also take into account suspension set ups. car A might have 300rwhp and spin on wider nitto's than car B, who's making twice as much power but has better suspension for drag. i know chris's car is much faster than mine, i saw the tail lights last night LOL, i love messing with bikes and do it when the opportunity's there, my conclusion first hand is it's all about the rider.

    good job Chris =]

    Damn, Bobby is extremely pissed off that he cannot understand this situation! I just got home and find out he has been posting this thread all over the internet.Damn bobby you really need to get a life and quit worrying about me and what I do.The point is you cannot believe this happened and that is fine.That is your opinion and you are welcome to it.as I stated on ls1 tech ,i am getting my car retuned tommorrow(saturday) and hopefully the tire's will spin in second.i hope to break the 200rwhp mark!!Oh wait i was thinking i owned a civic or a mustang!!All i can tell you bobby is come out and take a look at my car and bring a 1000gsxr with you and let's race.There are plenty of video's I have seen 700+rwhp car's outrunning 1000's and even busa's.Sorry to be posting this late at night or in the am bobby as I know you are probably wetting your diaper's as of now and crying to mommy to change them for you!Go back to sleep and let the adult's play!

    JW sold you a mismatched converter...you prolly gave him bogus info as that is not his reputation.
    I asked him AND his mechanic....i did not believe he hooked while having the exact same power curve as he had with the auto. I do not believe he has that same power curve with the 6 speed so it now seems believeable. I dont want to be Chris' buddy.....they usually wanna borrow money

    NEWSFLASH....i was just informed that the Nittos were NOT the 555R tires but the regular 555 series!!! Had it been the 555r tires, he may have pulled the 1000 while on the back tires for 100'!!!

    i have explained to you how its possible but apparently you dont get it. Try this example....331 sbf....101mm turbo.....3.23 gear....t5 vs a 5000stall auto......which one is easier to hook on the street in the rain ....NOT which is faster on a good tire but which is easier to hook......
