going racing tonight

[2ndwindracing]

ok, going racing tonight. car im racing: 1991 vw gti, 1997 vw vr6, and a ford probe. what should i do to my car, performance wise, that dont cost nothing. i alreasy gutted it. all that shit is done. i need to know if there is anything i can bypass vacuum wise that might add a little bit of power, or anything else. all i have is a short ram intake and a catback exhaust. i keep up with the gti,and the gti beets the vr6, so im not to worried about the vr6. i havent raced the probe before, but its bone stock. new tires, down to a good psi. all that shit is done. i need performance. would it help if i just took the intake off? any help would be appreciated. thanks. oh yeah and its a crapomatic (my car)

[accordzoom]

[theone]

yeah man, lets us kno the outcome

[accordzoom]

whatever you do, dont do it on offramps or exits..

i raced a golf tdi before any mods, he kept up at first but after siftin into 3rd. no comp.
but be safe and watch for pigs

keep your heater on all night untill you are about to race. and drive slow all night. This will keep your car cooler. Anohtre thing is dont intentionally put any extra gas in it tonight.(weight) And if you are really wooried put some octane booster in your gas tank. An urban legend ive been told around here is dropping a cotton mothball as far down your gooseneck as you can right before you put a tiny bit of gas in to get it into the tank. I hear it keeps your fuel cooler for some reason. NEVER HAVE I DONE THAT SO DONT THINK ITS MY IDEA! it may work who knows?
dont launch too hard, and just stay relaxed when you are shifting. that keeps you from missing a gear.

[Fearit22]

Don't ever try that thing with the mothball. That's something hot rodders used to do way back in the 50-60's and it's not a good idea.

[punkrockimport]

thank you for telling me, cuz i honestly dont know

[theone]

so what was the results

today is the next day right, i post my last post yesterday but it says i did it on the 10th, which is today so im not sure:wtf:

but anyway, how was the outcome

[jdmishcb7]

Hope this isn't too late

I noticed a great increase in "oomph" when I took out out my complete A/C system (including evaporator behind the glove compartment) and power steering system. I wouldn't suggest taking out the power streering if you live in a big city, or have to do a lot of low speed turning, but I don't have to do low speed turning very often, and it really isn't that bad anyway.

However if you take your A/C compressor out you will need to get a new belt.

[accordzoom]

yes, how exactly did it go??
imanxious to hear

[h22sparkle]

Just make sure wherever your gonna run it just make sure there is no cops in the area do it in a controlled envirnment be sure to do a 5-speed swap too.

Oh oh, did he get into an accident? Is he in jail?? You guys get me concerned when you say you are going raceing, then dont hear from the for a while.
