90 EF LS/V 95 DC4
This last weekend I had the opportunity to do a quick test-run against my buddy's Altima 3.5 SE & another guy's Firebird LS1.... (In my Jetta VR6, 2.8 V6)
LS1 mods: Exhaust /w open Y-Pipe cutout & who knows what else
First I ran the LS1 from a 30roll. I was in 1st gear @ 5k rpms. I took him by a car length by the end of my 1st gear, he wasn't catching me until I hit mid-3rd gear where he passed me pretty quickly, and then I got into 4th gear and he wasn't pulling away anymore.... He was about 1.5 car lengths in front of me. My theory: he was spraying nitrous in his 3rd gear.... AND I still almost beat him.
Then my buddy with the Altima ran the same LS1, and lost to it pretty bad.
Altima Mods:
VQ35 /w CAI, UR lightweight pulleys & Y-Pipe. He's supposed to have a 100-shot of NOS as well. Oh & he was running race gas that night too.
So I ran the Altima from a Dig. We were dead even in 1st gear, and I pulled out by a car length in 2nd gear, where I proceeded to mis-shift into 3rd gear.... Where he caught up to me, and we kept pulling until 130mph where we stopped nose-to-nose.....
Pretty good considering i'm making 100hp less than the Altima, and probably close to 160hp less than the LS1....
I can't wait to hit the track this Friday! Can't wait to see what my car's capable off....
