Ya Eurocode posted videos of him racing an S6 with nitrous and without nitrous. I also posted some videos of me racing him while he was using nitrous. but the camera car that was following us was not in the proper gear when we raced so the video is from behind us the whole time. But his car pulls like a freight train on my car when he is spraying. Either way I have been trying to convince him to come to Sacramento with me to run our cars together. But he is hard to convince.
ya neither will I. Literally the only times hes used his nitrous in the last couple of months is when i convinced him to race my car and when he raced the S6. He doesn’t even use it when hes by himself.
italian dude from the east coast. Hes an engineer that works on top secret projects for the government. He is very cool guy but has that engineer/social/perfectionist/panic thing that is hard to explain. He has every single mod you have on your car. But I remember 2 years ago we were in vegas and he freaked the fuck out when his license plate LED light went out. He wants to have the fastest car out there but I think hes afraid of breaking it.
Don’t believe everything you hear when someone is talking about their uber secret government job…and technically every military base is restricted and has restricted areas…lol I’m not saying your buddy is full of it, but some guys talk shit up to way more than it is. I have a secret cleareance and pretty cool job that I could make sound fucking awesome to a kid who smokes pot and drives a lime green S4…lol
ya I never said it was awesome I just said hes a hardcore engineer and is very anal because of that. Only jobs I think are COOL are racing cars, flying jets, and anything that involves naked bitches.
that’s the problem with nitrous. It feels a bit hollow in that you have to actively turn it on. It’s not quite like race gas, but to me it’s kind of not …real.
That’s kind of a weird way to think about it, I know.
The nitrous kit on the B6/7 that JHM created is awesome. It’s an instant game changer that takes the car from high 13s stock on 91, to low 12s for about $4,000 ($2500 for nitrous, $1500 for exhaust). There’s nothing out there that can touch it, value wise if measuring performance for dollars spent on mods. And the JHM nitrous for the B6/7 is kinda expensive compared to the rest of the world’s nitrous kits.
This is very true. Especially if you don’t have a remote bottle opener. Also you get diminishing returns as your bottle gets closer to empty, and it’s not a good idea to top off the bottle, it should be empty before refilling. So you are sort of saving your load for the right time to blow it…
Ya a remote bottle opener is a must, otherwise its like strapping a giant rocket on your car once in a while. Nos doesnt really interest me either cause I drive the shit out of my car all day long. Sometimes I drive 150-250 miles a day going all over LA.
I have the slip right in front of me, I ran consistent 12.0X-12.1X all night trying to break 11s, it was my first time to the track after I installed my CM FX-400 clutch, with a new stock oem flywheel…I was so disappointed that I couldn’t break into 11s, that I didn’t bother to post…
The slip reads:
12.0517@117.96mph
1.8000 - 60ft
7.8096 - 1/8
92.44mph
I can scan if needed…u know what, I’m going to do it anyway, give me a few minutes
For those interested in the nitrous setup, please pm me.
Honestly, with the correct wheel diameter and weight savings, and of course DA, I do believe we can break 10s with stock blower.
Keep in mind that my only mods was the Revo 100tune, stasis catback(stock dps/midpipes), and the strat/roc-euro intake. I didnt even let the car cool off between the runs. I will admit that I removed my spare with tools, only the battery was left back there lol! And rear seats were also out
