But shouldn't have been able too.

We went from a light. The 240 pulls hard in 2nd. But mine pulls hard in 3rd. He got about half a car length ahead of me in 2nd and I got a full length of him in 3rd. And then I stopped on approach of residential area.

I shouldn't have been able to take that 240. His revs were in all the right places and he didn't miss any. Any ideas?

Well that tip adds like wut...10hp? and then you have to factor in all of that wieght reduction you did by shaving all the emblems off. hehe
Good kill, no matter what the reason.

LOL. The tip is only a temp. measure until my exhaust is purchased. I just couldn't stand the stock exhaust. All bland and small. I know I know, rice.

And I must have shaved off at least half a pound removing those emblems and door mouldings.

Hey, I killed an older 240sx up this hill. He had another person in the car, but still, it wasn't realy close, beat him by two car lenghts. It looked like a '90......

At the local drag strip, those were the only cars I figured I could easily beat. I don't think I saw a single 240 break 19 secs. Many were in the 20's. Don't know whether they were sticks or not, and I never got to race one, but they were all unimpressive.

Kincaid

Hmmmm. Interesting. I figured they should techincally be faster with a 140 hp stock engine. Although my car being lighter probably made a difference then.

plus performance goes down after years, maybe his spark plugs were dirty or something along those lines........ but hey, good job nonetheless

Probably for the same reason why 3rd gen is slow for 130 hp-no top end?2.4 liter-isn't it a truck engine?
I like 240! With SR20det conversion.....

Good lord. At 20PSI it better do well! Did forged internals manage to pull that off?
