shouldnt a 20G turbo be faster than...

[mavisky]

good point tevenor, a poorly tuned 20g and mixed with street tires and fwd can really suck it up.

take my friend for example. 13.2 on a small 16g, installs rought tuned 18g and runs low 14's and only breaks into the 13's once at the shootout.

turbo's don't make the power, the tuning does.

AHAHAHA, I am positive I saw that guy race. He had no clue how to drive or launch. He absolutly lit em off the line and bounced the rev limiter all the way through 1st and 2nd. The car was barely at the 60' marker when he hit 3rd. I had my camera, but for some reason I didnt catch that run on tape.

Oh, and a stock 14B is certainly capable on 110 traps in my experience.

This guy's driving could use some help BUT give him some credit. It's hard to launch FWD especially if he was at the track on 17" wheels with low profile tires! My best 60' with my FWD was 2.0 on 225/50 16 Goodyear Eagle LS. When I pulled that 60' I was consistently pulling 2.1's that night. I changed my tires to 225/50 16 Michelin Pilot MXM's a week later and couldn't get better than a 2.3 to save my life! I was doing everything the same as I did before, they just would not hook. The point is, maybe the tires this guy was running when he went to the track just aren't very good for start off traction. They were low profile tires which usually have a pretty hard sidewall. Tires with a hard sidewall generally dont get you off the line very hard. AWD and RWD owners dont have to worry about 'TIRE TECH' as much since you have weight transfer working with you, not against you like us FWD owners.

The EBAY ad says it was Professionally tuned by HAHN so tuning shouldn't be a problem.
