My Prelude SH: Basic boltons, and dry 60 shot of nitrous. (1 passenger)
Thanks to Dan for taping, and Ben for the fast and wonderful hosting.
All three races had the same results after the 1/4.
I only got the first two on the video. This is also my first night out with nitrous so i'm still learning how to launch with it.
man good race bro !! sheezzz You can defiently see the AWD advantge there... Next time race from a Rolling start i wanna see how well the wrx can hang at a rolling start !! Great Vids !!
hmm why not up the shot to 80 ? you are running a dry setup =P
In the second race, the 944 just caught up. I didn't let off til he fully caught up and passed me, the 1/4 was already over by then though, if that matters.
I think the only notable mods are the boost controller, probably upped it to around 17? and an exhaust....this was last time i rode in it which was a year ago, not sure if he had any other new go fast mods put in it recently.
And regarding to dan asking me what i hit, I dont know what he was smoking, i didn't hit anything, there was a little dip in the road, which i guess made it feel weird?

oh yeah, and in the first video, dan said "he kicked your ass" because the wrx was so far ahead when he turned the video around, but he didn't realize i was braking hard way before he turned around because I had to race in the center divider and needed to slow down. Oh well, whatever I guess - I thought I kept up pretty well with the wrx in the first video, got spanked in the second one though.
the 944 has good power, it has the potential to beat the wrx and waste me, but the driver was driving his friend's car with the friend sittin gnext to him. The first race, the owner wouldn't let him launch, but the disappointing results lead to the second race where he "tried" launching. It was a bad launch, but it pulled on me pretty good. It pulls nicely once it's rolling.

i haven't mentioned this but in those races, my car had a noticeable cut in power after 6000-6500 rpms.
I think it has to do with something with running rich, combined with a bottle pressure under 800psi. I just got some 100 octane gas and will be going to the track today and trying out both the 50 and 60 shot to see what difference they make. I think i could have done better in those races
Unless his clutch is already worn to high hell, you would not smell a thing from dropping the clutch at redline, except for tires. Slipping is where the burning smell comes into play...

yeah he doesn't drop it, that'll be too much for the differentials.
He slips it, and does it quite well....but is it worth the abuse on the clutch? I guess it is to him :nono:
Sweet vids man, gotta get that nitrous tuned out though, I would love to see you waste that WRX. If you wanna take away some of his AWD advantage, buy some drag radials, you would be able to launch at about 5-6k with little to no wheel spin. Feel free to make a few more vids.
