92 VR4 vs 91 Eclipse GS-T

[TurboJoE21]

Ok here is the deal this guy that lives in my town wants to race me he has a 91 gs-t and he's spraying about a 75 shot I know nitrous and turbo doubles so he's spaying 150 shot, whats me to race him would I have a chance against him with my car (92 VR4) being stock. Can I run 110 octane in my car and hang with his car?

anyway you can get a boost controller real quick, they cost only 20 bucks, if you can, turn it up to 14psi(which is a 50hp gain) and beat the sh!t out of him, otherwise most likely he's gonna pull on ya a little, 75 shot of nitrous will drop him from 15.1 to 13.8 something in that area im guessing.

2 problems with what you just said.

1. A 75 shot is a 75 shot, turboing it wont make a difference. Its named after the amount of HP the engine gains.
2. Running race gas when you dont need it to prevent knock will result in less power than a lower octane. The only reason to run race gas is if you are boosting to the point where the gas is detonating. So if you have a boost controler you could run race gas and turn the boost up. But if your not turning the boost up there is no point, and 110 is hell on your o2 sensors.

You will distroy him off the line, I dont know about the 1/4 mile though.
