accord vs. suburban

[accordex_1990]

The other night I ran my friends 96 Chevy Suburban. We raced from a 40 roll and he put about two to two and a half cars on me. Then we raced from a dead stop and he put about a car and a half on me. His surburban has 250 hp and I have a 1990 Accord EX with intake/exhaust/headers, pulleys, fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator. Since he has a surbuban and needs more power to drive his car, what does that 250 hp equal up to in car horsepower.

hmm, im not sure

- but i raced my bros 98 tahoe about a yr ago and beat him by a nose for about a block ... im assuming he woulda then went ahead by a half a car then id a took him in the long run

but im curious as well

i don't have the specs on the subbie but i can only assume it's the torque advantage that's owning you. as the old adage goes, "there's no replacement for displacement."

[h22sparkle]

exactly bro you need more torque with that 140 to make it ummmph

Well so far I have intake/header/exhaust, pulleys, fuel pressure regulator. What else could I do to give it a little more power. Oh and this summer I am putting in a 50 shot of nitrous.

Make sure you maintenance has been kept up with it. intake exhaust header get a custom 2.50 for the exhaust when you runnin it though its like 78 over here.


And make sure the timings on point your fuel filter is clean and put in some fuel injector cleaner little things like that help and dont juice below 3k and your straight and dont top out like crazy and learn when to shit before 6 k and youlll be straight. Before you go over that 50shot get a bigger pump and a fpr a word of advice from someone like me who went through heh the bull before

Thanks for the feedback.

Actually, 2.25" exhaust is better for the F22. I'm not sure where nitrous comes into play there, but that MAY benefit from a wider exhaust. If you go too wide though, you'll lose low end.

But yeah, the torque difference is what's doing it.

Another addage:
"Horsepower sells cars, but torque wins races"

to tell you the truth i have a STOCK accord lx and i beat the shit out of a burbon by like three car lengths and it was a 00. so i dont know how or why but i just do feel you should be getting beat by a suv.
