Back story: A guy I know is becoming a self taught tuner so he had me race one of the GTO he had tuned. It's a 04 LS1 manual with exhaust and tune. My car is a bone stock 14 5.0 automatic 301A package on 19s
First race: We decided to do a 40 roll to 130 in Mexico. I ended up winning by like a fender but he was coming back. He was alone, I had 200+ pound passenger
Here's a crappy video. Camera truck didn't hear the honks, otherwise he would've been right beside us
Well after a couple weeks, the tuner called me out again on friday. He said he added 4 degrees of timing to the tune and some other tweaks. I was super tired so my buddy raced my car with me in the passenger seat, and the GTO had the tuner as passenger, buddy is the same weight as the passenger I had last time, GTO tuner is about 180
Well we decided to do a 40 roll again. That race ended up a failure cause the GTO "spun". So we lined back up and did a 60 roll, ended up getting him by about a car maybe more
Here's the video recorded by me(loss of headlights on GTO is due to louvers)
After that we went back to a meeting spot and the excuses started flying of course. "Oh the car is down power all around" Well how do you "spin" on a 40 roll down on power whereas the old tune you hooked. Hmmm lol
