well heres where it gets kinda weird though. he used to have an FC that he did all the wrench work on. he told me it dyno'd at 260 whp and weighed 2700 lbs.
we ran from a roll and i pulled him by half a car.
see how thats kinda weird? 260whp + 2700 lbs being beat by 230whp + 3200 lbs.
i was out of town and chilling with him and we were in his car when a honda accord pulled in front of us while we were going 60. he had no choice but to slam into the guy. turned out to be a 75 year old asian man who didn't stop at the stop sign. i was passenger in his FC.
actually here let me just grab the thread.
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...9&page=1&pp=15
anyhow he and i both got a lot of money out of the whole thing. he got about 13k for his car because he had all the recipts of the mods in it. i got about 20k because i hired a lawyer to get me money for pain and suffering (which i did much of)
he bought this FD how it is. he didn't do a single thing to it. the person he bought it from claimed 400whp.
so if 260whp + 2700 = losing to me by half a car then what does 400whp + 2700 mean now that im no longer stock.
also when i was stock i ran my friend nicks fd. his was bone stock too and i put about 4 cars on it (from a roll). wasn't impressed. pretty car though.

If you want, call your friend up and I will meet him at the track this weekend
and we can settle this debate.Mario

By the way, isn't 1300 cc secondaries is too big for only 400 whp?
Good luck

He had 3mm apex seals with 9.0 compression and mild street port boosting about 20 psi. The 3rd gen rx-7s have bigger intake ports and breathes much better than the 2nd gens. Low compression to me is 8.5 and more boost potential. Your only chance is to get as far ahead at the start because if he does a good burn out with low rear tire pressure, he'll hook up right in no time and catch you before you cross the 1/4 mile.
By the way, isn't 1300 cc secondaries is too big for only 400 whp?
Good luck

Just tell him you'll race him "Best out of 3" come hell or high water. Knowing that the FD's are about as reliable as Dishnetwork in a thunderstorm, it'll blow a seal during race 2 and you'll have him! If he whines you can just use RPS. Rock, Paper, Scissors.
