The real comparison for the average guy is on the stock car...racing modded cars means nothing at the end of the day. And since Walked U is a "beta" tester I'd say it's as close to a Vishnu car as you can get without being one.
Happy Thanksgiving, stop the bitching. |

Now as for the other runs, well, since I parked my car and was the videographer inside Terry's car, I didn't get a chance to run against all the other guys until we went back to get my car.
I have just the PROcede v1.47, K&N drop in filter, and 19" CSL reps on General tires, with the AUTO tranny. I ran Walked U and JonMartin last night and AB Tek 818 on Saturday. We all know what Sherwin has. JonMartin has PROcede v1.47, RD Sport Catback exhaust, 19" wheels, drop in filter, and lowered and is a 6 speed MANUAL. I would say I was about 150-175 lbs less in my car than Jon. I was alone and weigh 165, he had him and his girlfriend. But his exhaust should give him 12+ rwhp. So I was probably really running with a weight advantage of about 50 lbs. I had 93 Octane in (2.5 gallons of 100 mixed to 1/2 tank of 91) and had about 1/3rd tank at the time of the runs. JonMartin said he was on a 93-94 Octane mix too. Well from a 40-50 mph (2nd gear) start to 130-ish I pulled 1.5 CL's on him twice. As I've said before, the autos seem to be worth about 1 CL over the manuals. Doesn't matter how fast the manual driver shifts, they can't shift as fast as the auto or make up for the better gearing in the autos. I was about 2.5 CL's behind Walked U (which makes sense since when I was riding in Walked U's car for several runs with JonMartin, Sherwin would pull 4 CL's from a 2nd gear start. When I ran Adam (AB Tek 818) he'd beat me by 1.5-2 CL's. Adam has PROcede v2.0.1, Borla exhaust, 2nd cat delete, ITG drop in filter and a 6 speed manual too. On one or two of the runs I was only about 1-1.25 CL's behind but on the last run I was closer to 2.5 CL behind. On the majority, I'd say I was like 1.5-2 CL behind (about 15-20 feet of air between his rear bumper and my front bumper) from 40-120 mph rolls. Again, sadly none of these races have been apples to apples since we all have different transmissions and different mods, on different octane mixes. But it gives you an idea. I think it's safe to say that v2 gives you about 2-2.5 CL's over v1.4 and the same hold true for JB2R over JB2. But hopefully we can get an apples to apples comparison of the different cars soon too, from customers with same transmissions and same mods. Good to see some of you again last night (small gathering) but I got to meet one or two new faces. |

He's now on JB2R and I'm still on v1.47 I would expect him to pull 2 or so CL's on me now. Then I'll meet up with him again once I get v2.02 and see what happens. Hotrod and I weigh about the same, have the same wheels and tires, and both have autos, so it's as close as you can get. |

Nope, I even run the stock filter; just change them often as well as the oil. But now, my days are over with touching every aspect of the car. No time or desire to go any further than it is now.

some people seem to want jb2r...but i don't get it cause a lot of the requests seem from people who use it as a daily driver and don't use 100oct gas...which i don't get at all...why would you want a race map unless for track only use...makes no sense...yet i have seen people do it!!!! i don't get it...like the one a couple posts above are you gonna use 100oct 100% of the time? and do you have an lsd...no point in getting all this power and not being able to put it to the pavement!!!!go faster than 1.47 and i see a NEED more than a want for an lsd...i still think that lsd plus exhaust and maybe an fmic is a MUST before a tune...it makes no sense to just leave the car stock and give it a powerful tune it can't even properly use because a lack of lsd and a proper exhaust...people say on here all the time exhaust doesn't give much...i consider a 6-7% gain as eisenman claims pretty damn good and with an intake and tune should give more

It's all about seeing which set up I like better..... As for the daily driver comment - obviously I'm not going to be driving on 100 octane all the time. That's where the switch comes in |
