Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 6m 19d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 27/12/07 12:15 AM Share Posted 27/12/07 12:15 AM (edited) After catchin up with the old's for Christmas me and my old man got into a bit of a discussion about old school muscle against new school boosted 6's namely his pet project an XY with the 351 and running gear out of a XB GT and my Turbo 6. Well to cut a long story short it ended up in a challenge to take place probably early 09 due to the fact that the XY still has it's old engine in it but he assures me it will only take him a year to be ready to "womp the piss out of my croch rocket". They way I look at it is this gives me a year to develope the right setup to be able to smoke him over and over again when the time comes (on the track of coarse).There is a Substantial prize invloved not to mention priceless bragging rights so it's a drag I CAN'T loose. He tells me he will be sitting around 400hp but it will be more likely 450 I bet so my question is what sort of power will I need to be able to consistanlty beat him on the strip? Obviously if I spend a sh*t load of coin an go for 500rwkw I'll be fine but I want it to still be a sorta fair race and I don't have an endless budget, so what do you guy's think?Oh and he seem's pretty confident as he got me a ripshift for Chrissy Edited 27/12/07 12:15 AM by XRTPSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
