2 losses tonight - NJFBOA - Home of New Jersey's Camaros and Firebirds

LS1KID · 09-10-2006, 01:31 AM

I was out cruising around 37 tonight with a buddy in my car and we came across a guy in a blue Evo 8. We came around a turn and as we got back on the highway, I was getting ready for him to line up. He's coming up from behind, gets in front of me, then starts slowing down again to line up and as soon as I'm ready to beep (@ about 40mph) he just nails it and takes off. We're like WTF

He got at least a 1 car jump on me before I went WOT. So I nail it to try and play catch up, but he pulled hard. I got up to about 95-100 w/ him about 5 cars ahead when we shut down. I catch him at the next light and asked what he ran and he said high 11s. I told him he had a fast car and we went our seperate ways. I just wish we could have went again from an even roll.

2nd run was against a gray Evo 8 and judging by the looks and sound, it obviously wasn't stock either. He was ahead of me and I was right behind him. So not really expecting him to do anything, I nail it from behind @ about 30mph and get in the next lane to the right. He nails it as soon as I get in the right lane and we immediately heard his turbo screaming. I start to pull and as my nose gets to about his front door, he sloooooowly starts to pull and I drop to his rear bumper. I started reeling him in on the top end and would have kept pulling, but we had to shut down b/c of traffic. We got up to about 80-85 and I ended up losing by less than half a car.

After I lost to the first Evo, I was j/k with my friend and told him that if I lost to another car tonight, specifically another Evo, that I will have to buy a stall. :jest: So, it looks like a stall will be on its way in the near future, along with a ported TB and LS6 intake just for ****s and giggles.

Any stall recommendations for a car with 2.73s?

get some 3.73's and a 3200 stall and walk that gray evo next time

jimmyboy8301 · 09-10-2006, 02:32 AM

yea 3.73's and around a 3000 stall. my car has a 2800 stall with 3.73's and it's NICE

I loved my TCI 3500 stall with my 2.73's...I would always take the converter before gears but some 3.23's or higher gears would definitly help.

njfastestcamaro · 09-11-2006, 12:38 AM

put some 4:10 and a converter and that evo will be looking at ur tail light
