CALLOUT: Nyteryder vs Iloveboost(mainstream teg)

[Vteckidd]

The main problem will be TRACTION.

As i said before, if daniel keeps it at LOW BOOST which is about the same power Nyteryder is making, then itll be a good race. heres my thoughts an analysis:

ILOVEBOOST PROS
1) makes slightly more power on pump
2) Has longer gearing
3) Has a much higher rev limiter allowing him to say in power longer
4) can bump it to 600whp if he needs to

ILOVEBOOST CONS:
1) Barely any seat time as far as street racing goes
2) IMHO doesnt know the limits of his car
3) questionable tranny
4) Big turbo=big lag
5) FWD=no traction

NYTERYDER PROS:
1) Tons of seat time in his car
2) knows the limits and capabilities of his chassis
3) makes awesome power, with a smaller turbo which means SPOOLS QUICKER
4) RWD = traction

NYTERYDER CONS:
1) Makes less power
2) has a shorter powerband, shorter gearing, lower redline
3) will have to out muscle iloveboost if he comes ready to race

1) drive the car more on the street
2) drive the car more on the street
3) better tranny with lsd
4) brake booost
5) mickey thompson drag radials ftw

just bustin your balls mike

We'll get a few runs in until there's undoubtedly one winner.

I've always got my pump gas tune @ 500whp, 8,500 redline. If that doesn't work, I've got 630whp w/ 9,500 redline and plenty of race gas on tap.

lol what makes you think if you dont win with 500 hp your going to win at 630 hp? more hp = less traction especially running Azenis RT-615s

My power climbs gradually, so traction isn't as terrible as everyone's making it out to be. I don't break loose in 3rd on my Azenis after 60mph @ 500whp. I haven't ripped it loose on the street with 630whp because I was driving around on 2 yr old, super-bald, Kumho 711s and I wasn't going to risk anything. I'll be out Friday night also testing the limits of the car on the street tires and 630whp.

If I spin, spin, spin... guess what, I'll just keep it at 500whp until I get some Mickey Thompson ET Streets for the car. No big deal.

Juan, I dont get this statement with traction & Azenis. Last time I saw the Teg I remember it was on some cheap-0 Kumho 711s. & the RT-615s grip very well for a street tire.

confused,

i was just going by what daniel said on honda-tech..

I'll also have some video soon of me against a few other high horsepower cars running on the highway this weekend.

630whp w/ Azenis RT-615s

i guess that sad face means hes expecting to do great with 630 hp on azenis..

edit: sorry the sad face doesnt appear on here, but you can see for yourself..

That is correct. I don't expect perfect traction, but it's not as terrible as everyone's saying it is.

I may not hook up at all on 630whp, doesn't mean I'm not going to at least try it. If I went by everything I've read on forums, I'd be in serious trouble. Everyone says 500whp is too much for the streets, but I hook perfectly fine on Azenis.

So Friday night when I run it at 630whp I'll see for myself what happens on street tires. If I don't hook, no big deal. I'll run 500whp. If I hook, then great! 630whp it is.

Edit: I'm more worried about the transmission than I am traction. I'll have to granny-shift.
