superchargers make low end power right? so he was saying that he was in too high of a gear well that was his power range correct? so it was a decent race

No, you still had an advantage. How fast were you guys when you were rolling? I hope it was at least 95 If you think he had all the power needed in fifth. Hey we can all stay dead even with a gt stang on the freeway but , from a first gear roll BIG diff.

When i said i couldnt comprehend it, it was because your writting was all choppy not cause I dont now what superchargers do.

Fifth does not pull from 75!!!!! If im doing 80-85 I always drop to fourth. The Rpms from those speed just get me into vtec. All im saying is with me 75 shot it wont be a close race.

Andrew must be smoking some serious rock!!! Just remember this is the guy that swears up and down the reflash is a huge waste of money. Yet hes using the reflash to his advantage in this arguement. You guys just need to race from a first gear roll!!! Problem solved.

dude the reflash is a waste a money if you want to make more peak hp not more usable hp. Everybody knows that its more embarssing to get beat buy a n/a car than a car with boost or n20 and thats why all you guys are upset spent all that money and get beat buy n/a car that must suck thats really what all this is about right? im not say that hondacares car isnt fast cause it is and its sick as sh$t but for $3500 i thought it would have been faster

your missing the point here. you were racing, i was not. you say my car should be faster but you have nothing to gauge it against because you havent seen it go. i ran a faster 1320 time than you n/a (with more mods and tires) and you think that my car is not waaaaayyyyyyy faster than that? you are not being attacked, but you sure are acting defensive. even with my shitty 2nd-gear-missing run i have a .4 sec better time than you and tires dont make a .4 sec difference.

Now you are just being ignorant. Tell me who you have raced with a 75 shot?? NO ONE! I dont remember anyone saying you BEAT hondacare at all. I heard that you kept up..... So chill with the "im so much better cause im NA bullshit." cause you have not beat any 8th gen with forced induction. I cant wait til the 23rd man. Since youve talked all this ish about nitrous and forced induction. So far you ran a 14.5 with all your mods. I ran a 14.7 It not a god damn world off difference!!!!! I know that when I have a 75 shot Ill be much much quicker then a 14.5 Dont hate on us cause we like what we like. We dont hate on you cause you want to stay NA. To each his own!!!!!

Ha did you even read that back to yourself?? Only fools pay attention to peak numbers. IF IT HELPS YOUR 0-60 IT HELPS YOUR 1/4 MILE TIME!!!!! So please tell me, if it makes you quicker how its a waste of time????? Fact is that if it makes me quicker I want it. I also dont think Hondata would still be selling them if they were a "waste of money" I think 8th gen enthusiasts would have caught on by now.
