had 3 kids in the car when i raced the s2000.raced from a light i didnt get any traction and he whooped me but once i grabbed i started catching up....second race on the freeway in 4th got next to him and we both hit it and i slowly crept away and once i hit 5th he shut down....good race guy was cool too

 

Nice kill.

done a couple of 2000s my self.

keep up the good work!!

 

Thats a mean engine you got there! Ever though about a bigger cam or using 1.6 rockers?

 

yah actually i have and would like to....but im also considering getting a 4th gen and selling my 3rd gen
but IF i dont get rid of my car i would put nice *** cam in it and completely redo the valvetrain and heads etc

 

I'm surprised you didn't pull him harder. I stomp those things off the line pretty fricken' hard, then just keep puuuuuullin'.

What heads are on your 350?

 

sweet.But thats dangerous with kids.

 

S2000's are slow....I regularly whored them back when my stang was bone stock.

 

what do the s2000's run?

 

14.0 1/4

 

Best I've ever seen was a 14.3 with slicks and a wicked hard clutch dump. At sea level. dude could drive too. It had a couple bolt-ons.

He seriously dumped the clutch at about 5.5k

 

Car and Driver 7-04

5.5 0-60
14.0 1/4
top speed 150mph

 

5.5k is a mild clutch dump for that car. But at the same time it's about as high as you want to go if you don't thouroughly enjoy replacing parts on brand new cars.

 

I'd have to see it to believe it. And also remember that in order to get them anywhere in the quarter you have to dump the clutch HARD (like stu said, 5.5 is mild, I think they redline at like 8k or somethin ??) and most people won't do that. Certainly not on the street.

 

They redline at 8,900 rpm, and a LOT of people will do that, it's a Honda, that's what they are known for. My mechanic ran a low 15 with his up at this altitude. The only Honda I've ever owned that I didn't redline at least 10 times a day is the one I have now. I never had a problem with them either. They are built to make power up there and to be redlined like that often.

 

stu,

can i barrow your helmet?

 

You'll have to go back in time, and to Disney World, and ask my ex-girlfriend. I bet she'd let you wear it.

 

I meant most people won't dump them like that on the street, or at all. Most people that can afford those don't like to break them. Besides, street tires + street + big clutch dump = spiiiiin city.

I know people will redline them... I'd probably be bouncing a honda off the rev limiter going to the grocery store. Maybe it's a good thing I don't own one haha

 

gee, i dunno about the ol girlfriend. on my second wife and she may not go for it.

as for 5.5, just to make sure we are on the same page......
that was 0-60 in 5.5 seconds.

 

this thing was quick though it coulda possibly been modded. we'll never know. and i have performer heads. i wouldve loved to be by my self and been able to grab traction. i think i woulda got him easy. but i seriously got NO traction when we launched, but on the freeway i think i coulda thrown it into 3rd but i woulda had to shift back up to 4th pretty quick. no clue! but i was constantly pulling on the race on the freeway.

 

I bet if you got a cam that stalls to 2500 or so and a convertor to match you'll really be bringing the pain then! I'm going to try one of those Voodoo cams sometime next year you should consider them too. Unless you have money for a roller setup which is always better.

 

hey lil,

howz the 327 working for ya?

 

yes...but i have a 5 speed.....

 

 

the cam stalls out untill you reach 2500rpms.

you the cam just sits thejre all lazy like and hardlyu moves

 

Sorry I just assumed you had a auto Anyway a bigger cam wouldn't hurt you at all. I know yours make good power but it still seems a little tamed.



howz the 327 working for ya?

I have to say the 327 feels pretty strong! A lot stronger than a stock TPI 350 or even a stock LT1( I've driven both) but right now I'm still breaking it in, I just got my pro tranny in I might put it end this week if I have time. Besides that all I have to do is paint it an take it to the track!

 

you the cam just sits thejre all lazy like and hardlyu moves

Huh?

A 2500 works great for the track you know like dumping a clucth with a manual.

 

the cam man. the cam stalls. a stalling cam is a lazy cam

 

rx7 only makes sense half the time

 

I was prolly smoking at the time and instead of my pointer finger being on the j key I had my middle finger and that kept throwing me off on what key I Was supposed to push

 

cams don't "stall" but they do have powerbands in which they're more effective.

A 2500 stall is a very small stall, and will only foot brake/flash stall to about 2k. I'd personally go with a 3000-3500.

 

read above and you will see what the fuss is all about with what speed the cam stalls at

 

friend of mine put a Vortech supercharger on his S2k. Never raced it before that, but he went into the high 13s a few times with the supercharger. His biggest problem was launching. He had to dump it at 5k and then it would just squeal the tires.

But he was getting consistent 120mph trap speeds; if raced from a roll, these cars are wicked fast.

 

120mph traps? Well that's only good for a high 10 or low 11 second pass.

 

hahaha yea...
