My weekend was pretty good, I got waxed on by a diesel truck Options

Alright I was at the races over the weekend and got beat pretty bad by a 378rwhp 726 rwtq (I believe that is what he said he dyno'd at CP earlier that night) diesel Chevy, go figure, I also ran a Cobalt SS, I got 1st and 2nd gear by third he caught up and by 4th he blew past me like he was spraying and beat me by 2 car lengths, the next race was against a Cherokee 4.0 Litre V6, no contest I won by almost 10 lengths (sad thing was he beat every Accord out there first).

Last weekend I ran a lightly modded MX-6 V6 and matched him (35mph roll, if it was from a stop I know I would have won), the second run was against a built D16 (I don't know Hondas very well but it said VTEC on the valve cover) 4 door that got me by a half length the first time, I won the second run with him (it was close but that's what everyone was saying, the last run was a 25mph roll against a well modded LS Civic coupe (everyone said he was putting out 170 to the wheels) he got me by a good car length when I hit fifth. The road we ran on was every bit of a quarter mile so it was a fair run.

The Cobalt was a 3 run race because he kept missing second and I don't like to claim wins on BS like missed shifts. I did get to cruise with a 525 rwhp 350Z twin turbo that will be in Import Mag soon, he just finished shooting.

I'm really close to tearing my head apart to find out my specs because a lot of people on here have the 5SFE and complain because they can't beat a D16 with a couple of bolt ons, I ran with one with a built head, intake, full exhaust, and was lightend to 2400 lbs. so that will be my project when I get a beater (hopefully this winter).
My next races are against a Suzuki Reno (when he gets his bolt ons), then an Eclipse GS-T with a Big 16G upgrade (after I get my 75 shot).

Cams, intake, and exhaust so far, but that is what the previous owner told me was done I couldn't tell you the profile of the cams without taking them out and measuring. I've learned that it's not really that difficult or expensive to get 130-140whp out of the 5SFE going N/A, it's when you try to get 160-200whp where the money really comes in but by then you're putting enough to the ground to run with some pretty quick cars. The only thing i'm going for in the 5SFE as far as mods is a 75 shot of nitrous to put me into SRT-4 range, I doubt my tranny will hold up though since it's stock and has been thrashed. BTW here is a pic of the D16 I ran the only thing that looked stock up close was the intake. He decided to show off after the race since he got me by a half, no BS that's what he did and you see where showing off gets you, lol.


Thanks CoSo I guess that clears it up, lol.
