What are u talkin about if ur refering to our race friday. I didn't even go the first time cuz i was talkin to the civic dude and the second time he launched i caught his and passed at about 90 mph. I'll run him again with others watching if u need proof.

But it doesn't really matter because either way my bro's car is slow as shit and i'd take the slozuki over the eclipse.

Seriously, he's right. It is too much work and money. Those 420a motors require way too much effort to make it fast. You should encourage him to enjoy his car until he's ready to upgrade to a platform with more potential, unless he REALLY likes a challenge.

No offense to the 420a guys at all. I was at the DSM shootout this year with a bunch of those guys and it was disappointing to find out how much investment they made to run so-so times at the track.

Considering his car won't even trap 90mph in the quarter, I'd say he still got ya. He called me twice and said he got ya....twice.

Well since it's not worth it whatever im not saying he did, not saying he didn't, but i do know this he was still on it when i passed him. See yall out there during the week i guess.

And frank i don't wanna race the evo in that, but what about the gsx-r 1000

Well, to the guy that said don't waste time on the 420A......partly correct i'd say. it does take alot to make them quick. i got lucky . the hard work was already done on my car...i just bought and have to make it even better. but i know guys that are running over 18psi with the 16G.....course they know what they are doing to.
and yea.....rated at 140HP factory


But anyway.....yes, STRATUS final drive gears work on the A604 auto tranny. They change the gear ratio like changing the ring and pinion in the rear of a V-8 car. I forget the exact number for it....but it can be bought.
I"ve not done mine to my N/A avenger yet....it's an I4/auto...and yes, slow is not the word...LOL

but he does have some potential with the 420A....but building the block with forged internals is the BIG thing that MUST be done before upping the boost.
not to mention fuel and eveything else that goes with it.
He NEEDS to go to 2gnt.com and read what those guys post about the 420a.
they can be made pretty quick if the effort is taken with them.

Example.....i ran 14.066 @ 102.6.....shitty launch, bad 60'....first time EVER driving a car at the track, much less a boosted FWD.....in a heavy ass Avenger.....semi-tuned
14s are not uber fast....but in a car that's like 17-18s from the factory....you see my point.
