Re: How to improve rolling Launch

well if i must say i kinda see where david is comming from.us n/t always have to hear that everytime we ask how we can make it faster,he didnt say he wanted it as fast as a turbo did he..no he just asked how he can get a better launch.if some of you 4g63t guys dont know then dont reply.im not trying to piss anyone off but i cant tell you how many people post whore by just saying "buy a turbo".im not saying you do but many other threads have the same response.thats about all,my 2 cents bye,,oh and travis knows i dremeled my tb and i didnt measure how much but i took out that whole lip inside and its alot bigger than stock.i can tell a difference quiker responce but not what i thought it would be. later

Re: How to improve rolling Launch

You dont NEED a turbo to make power, it just makes life a ton easier. They were featuring a 9 second all mosot rsx on super street a few months back, no boost, no blower, no spray on a k20. Granted it was all stripped down but it was still a fwd door slammer.

Re: How to improve rolling Launch

Thanks BostonJoe98.

I'm going to keep all my performance questions to myself now. I was going to get the TB and the cams and everything anyways. So, this thread was useless. I just wanted to see what everyone else though. You guys should know me by now. But I see no one really cares. Sad. Oh well. We could drop this now becuase its just going no where.

Re: How to improve rolling Launch

yeah man, I actually have respect for you because your staying N/A, all you ever hear is people wanting to turbo their car. cams should help alot but even more if you start porting your head better flowing intake mani ect.

Re: How to improve rolling Launch

Thanks BlackGST but I like the short ram I got. Thanks for the offer though.

I'm just going to get the TB for now. I got the head that I'm saving money to do the work to. No biggy though.

I am looking for a used TB though, 95-99 n/t TB. PM me if you got one. Thanks!

Re: How to improve rolling Launch

I highly doubt that he is making anywhere near that much power. I would have to see proof to believe it.

Re: How to improve rolling Launch

Yeah, it's possible. He's got to have more done though. It's all possible. I've seen a couple of them that are up there.
