2G GS-T vs. Z28

99GS-T Boost · Jun 18, 2002

Does anybody think I have a chance at beating my friend with his Z28? Unfortunately, my car is heavy with my sound system and everything stock still inside of it.

Mods are:
Injen Intake
T/28 Turbo
Apexi BOV
Buschur Racing UICP
Ported Exh Mani
Ported Oxygen Sensor
2.5" Downpipe
2.5" Hi-flow cat
HKS Hiper Exhaust
Walboro 255lph Fuel pump
Apexi AVC-R
Apexi AFC

Car has run a 14.9@95 mph. I know that is bad, but the car isn't tuned. Waiting for an EGT.

I would wait until your tuned. With those times you would lose.....bad.

With my old 95gst, I raced my friends 97 anvi. 6 sp up hill from 60-110. The z28 has a fipk and my gst maybe had 25hp over stock.
Starting in 3rd gear at 60, I was a car and a half behind him at 110. That is not too bad, he couldn't believe I was keeping up that good. I couldn't either.

I thought the T28 was a mid to high 13 second car. Isnt ur time the same as stock.

I wish I was mid to high 13's. I don't know why I have such a bad time, but I figured it's from all the weight in my car, and that it isn't tuned. Wish I could make it faster, but it seems whatever I do, it still doesn't make it faster.

It depends which T-28 he has he may not have a FP one. But even a stock T-28/ or the t-25 with those mods should be pulling 97-99 mph trap speeds on a FWD and should be a low 14 or high 13 sec car.

99GS-Tboost,

are you talking about getting a Eclipse GT? Is that what you meant by EGT? I wouldn't, stay with the GS-T and get rid of the sound system and then go race him. A 5 speed EGT does a 15 1/4 mile stock, with your heavy Stereo you're still faster. I have a sporty with Intake I'm lucky if I pull a 16 1/4 mile, with mods coming I'll do better but you are better off where you are at now.

No he is talking about getting an Exhaust Gas Temp gauge, So he can tune his car better.

Tune it first, you can take him.

If you loan me that AVC-R, and two weeks to tune it, I'll do it for ya !

Launching an FWD = surgical tuning needed. The AVC-R can be that tool.... gear based boost control.

If you have patience to tune (get a datalogger son !) you can defeat a torquey American car. Is the Z-28 the big rig of the factory Camaros ? Like the Mustang Cobra ? I dunno the difference between on big V8 car and the next. I'm worried about some of the newer domestic cars, the 2003 Cobra-R is supercharged and is around 400hp. Vette Z06's are way too fast.

Clearly, I'm gonna have to get that FP 30 turbo.... and destroy my FWD drivetrain !

Thanks everybody for the info. I guess I'll just tune it, but I want to get a front mount intercooler, some street grind cams, test pipe, and maybe a bigger turbo. Might downsize the system as well.

I've got a 96 gst spyder 5spd I have had the turbo gone through(new bearings etc.)HKS bov and minor high proformance tune up stuff,I raced my buddies 99 SS camaro. We were doing about 40mph and I droped it down in to 2nd gear. I hit my peek power ban when I did this. He droped in to 2nd too but only for a split second (he has an automatic). While his car was shifting I was still running up the rpms. To my suprise I pulled on him and beat him by half a car length. That means nothing though. We started at 20mph and he killed me. Oh well.
