This guy (pretty cool guy) asked me if I wanted to race last week and said he was a stock RS. I raced him from a roll with a catback and CAI. Turns out he's a GST.....

Well I'll be getting my HRC stage 1 in 2 weeks. I'll have stage 1 turbo, catback, and since I'm auto, the final drive mod.

He has a GST with catback, K&N filter, running 10 PSI, 5speed.

Would it be safe to boost at 7 PSI? If so could I beat him?

No. Unless he is a bad driver. Your being automatic almost imediately makes the decision. Then , he is boosting 3 psi, thats about 30hp. And you probably wouldn't be used to driving with the turbo. Then, he's got the cat and intake... Who knows...just race the liar. ;)

He is not running 10psi....

if its a gst its running 12 from the factory, with a boost controler he can do 16 or so , but when its close to redline itll drop to 12 again, it would be a close race if that guys got some stuff done to his car if hes an auto also, if not he'll kill you off the line and probley all the way though the race, later

Oh yeah... he is a stock turbo, meaning he is a 4g63.

The reason why I ask is because all the other guys there were poking fun at him every now and then. Supposedly he absolutely sucks at launching his car.


Wait I just reread your post. They come stock with 12 PSI? What the hell.... he said he had a boost controller set at 10.5 PSI. I don't know shit about stock 2g turbos but this isn't adding up????????

well at redline a t25 in bad shape will only do about 10 pounds, but most do 12, most likey thats guys FOS<, if he had say maybe a t3/4oe, i could see him doin 10 pounds and being happy with factory fuel trim, but most liky that guys lying, he probley nothing more than a ricer in a cool car, i hope it crank walks, i on the other had didnt crank walk i spun a bearing, causing massive crank walk, yeah 9,000rpm baby yeah, ok..................i bored later

stock 4g63 95-99 run 12psi from the factory.. so if he has a boost controller he cant go below 12psi of boost... check what kind of boost controller he has on his car, and also ask him to go for a ride in his car and to floor it so you can see his max boost if so... if he is running 16psi+ you better have a tuned stage 2 just to keep up or run with him.. he is a ass for lieing to you.. bring him to me ill race him.. }>
