it's on pump gas. 93 octane
used to have a 200 shot on it. He blew the intake off with it so he said fuck it and stayed all motor. He's put like 70 grand into that car. he's a real estate agent with too much money lol and his name is Rich lol
he's got 2 2010 camaro ss' and a stock 2002 SS.
those are his summer DD's then, he's got a Chrysler 300 C and a Dodge Ram for the winter.
I know its on pump gas. Everything I'm talking about is assuming pump gas. I'm just saying his setup isn't optimized. If the motor was built for spray and tuned for spray and he hasn't had it re-tuned then that would explain why he is missing a few tenths. The engine is running a little on the fat side and it has a tighter torque converter (for nitrous) than would be optimal for an N/A setup.
For $70k, assuming that includes the cost of a brand new car, he should be running mid-low 8's with a fully built turbo car. I think we have already been over this before but he must have been absolutely RAPED with a double capital R by a shop. Repeatedly. His engine is worth maybe $8k if you bought all new parts to replicate it. It sure as hell doesn't have $32k in suspension, tranny, and rear end.
For comparison, He is trapping ~4.5mph more than my car that has a stock bottom end LS1 (346ci) Patriot performance stage 2 LS6 heads(budget heads, sort of), a medium sized street car cam (234/238 .595/.605 int/exh), an LS6 intake, long tubes, and full exhaust. That's like $2500 in motor work.
