Two kills in the last three days.

So, me and the Pegasus have gotten an S2000 an a fox body mustang in the last three days. Race 1: S2000, from a 40 roll. I had two passengers, he had 1 (me 3 total, him 2 total). We both honked down, and I took off starting in second. I over-revved second and he pulled slightly ahead. But through third and fourth I was constantly gaining until at 110 there was about a fender to my credit. I think driver and driver in our cars and without my over rev, I'd of gotten a half a car to a full car on him. We talked for a bit after, driver was new to car, but he'd raced a mustang before and he was pretty comfortable with losing to Mustang's by now. He had just exhaust, but it sounded real nice. I wouldn't want such a torque-less car, but it was definitely enviable. BTW, they're interiors are WAY nicer. Race 2: Blue fox body mustang was revving at me from the light. He was actually going straight and I was turning off, but who am I to pass up a challenge? I jumped back into a straight lane once traffic cleared out and followed him up L street, we got next to each other and started hauling ass. Right at the end of second, his nose went down and I gained almost half a car instantly... I thought he was shutting down... so I let off it and then he took off like a bat out of hell gaining all my spread and then some. My thought, what the hell? So I laid back into it, and towards the middle of third we both shut back down with me a half a car ahead of him. Still, that car sounded AWESOME, and if you're on this board, your car is sick. [:o] I know, street racing is bad, blah blah. but me and the GT are starting to mesh and I'm getting some kills I am actually proud of. [8D]

what mods you got?

quote: ORIGINAL: avlon06 what mods you got? Royal Purple engine oil, Royal purple synchromax gear oil, K&N air cleaner, I've removed the intake silencer, and wider tires, other than that, nothing that might improve or detriment performance. And from a roll, my wheels probably hurt me.

oil isnt a mod is it[>:] nice race's was the fox stock?

quote: ORIGINAL: USMCrebel oil isnt a mod is it nice race's was the fox stock? Not really. Stock oil is motorcraft 5w20. Considering the difference I noticed, and it being similar in intensity to my K&N filter, it was worth listing as a "Mod" since it is a deviation from stock, it DID cost me decent money, and it made for a noticeable difference. The fluids in the gearbox and engine are probably responsible for almost as much power as the K&N filter. I wouldn't know how much that is, but it's definitely better than stock.

You guys don't know that oil gives you 15 rwhp. Stupid ^^^^

Your but dyno must be sensative as hell (Sensative but, He He He[8D]) The K & N might have gave you 1WHP and the oil isn't going to increase power to the wheels at all. Most people cant tell the difference in a 13 flat pass and a 13.5 pass til they see the slips. And it takes ruffly 15 horsepower to cut off a 1/0th at the track so I seriousaly doubt you can fell any difference from changing brands of oil..

I refuse to believe it didn't drastically improve fluidity. One of the things I noticed right off the bat was how much easier it started. I can't describe how it feels during every day use, but I do notice a difference. And I feel every bump in the road, so there's got to be some sensitivity there. quote: ORIGINAL: njdanmustang You guys don't know that oil gives you 15 rwhp. Stupid ^^^^ Hah, I wasn't looking for that. But you know, I wouldn't be surprised if between my gear oil and engine oil I gained about 5. There's a noticeable difference from the second startup (first sounds like I dropped spoons in there, obviously). There was a difference, even if it's fun to pick on people about, and with the K&N filter yielding so little, they're probably even (oil and filter).

You maybe will see .1RWHP from oil change. Gear oil wouldn't affect your horsepower. Engine oil lubricates, so whenever you do an oil change you notice a difference. Royal purple is just a higher grade lubricant.

Royal purple is just a higher grade lubricant. Stock motorcraft will do the same thing from second startup, chugging and generally hating you. Seems most GT's I ran into did that. Royal purple cured that and several other things, but I don't wanna discuss it. Moving on. I beat two cars... And another guy asked if the fox was stock. I wouldn't know, I guess. We didn't talk after the race.The sound was way different from a stock fox, but had stock tips, so maybe it was cut off, but I couldn't tell you. Didn't seem loud enough for cut offs. Perhaps he had H/C/I, I know that's usually first base for fox owners.

i can see a 5-7hp gain thinking about it. i mean if it reduced friction in the engine that will give you X gain and the if the DT also has less friction freeing up more hp the k&N is good fro about 2-3whp, so i can see a 5rwhp gain....but i dont think it would be noticable on the street/strip

But the symptoms make me believe it's there.

regardless of what hp gains/ lack of you got good races.

quote: ORIGINAL: USMCrebel regardless of what hp gains/ lack of you got good races. Well, I am still kicking myself for screwing them both up. The first one I over revved and the second one he miss shifted so bad I thought he was shutting down. If I'd of kept going on the second I'd of ruined him. First one, well, I was just being newb but had the car been empty and I wouldn't of miss shifted... god not doing your best is almost as bad as losing! [:o]

just because your engine is running smoother doesn't make it faster.... ... [:'(]

quote: ORIGINAL: Mishri just because your engine is running smoother doesn't make it faster.... ... [:'(] less friction= better right, but by your logic your saying someones else that is not lubed up at all will perform the same as a well lubed engine? better heat dispersion and cooling WILL allow for more gains and a better oil disperses heat and maintians viscosity.

On horsepower TV a few years back they dynod a camaro before and after a royal purple oil change and it picked up I believe right around 7rwhp. I dont know if Id mention it as a modification personally but it does pick up a bit more power.

By that logic, why tell people you have long tubes or cat back?
