battle of the roommates

So my roommate and I have been working side by side in the garage all winter and now it is finally warm enough to start racing. We both have been trash talkin for months how we are going to beat eachother.

We have made a list of mods and are posting on nissan, toyota, and a "non-biased" auto forum to see what you guys think. I drive a 240sx and he has a toyota tacoma. we are both sitting near 250hp right now.

the following is the most current list of mods (upgrades are always happening and will be noted afterwards):

lol not being biast but im assuming your talking about a drag race so if both cars have around the same power then wouldnt it be safe to assume the 240 is faster because its lighter has more traction then the tacoma and dosnt have a truck tranny.... i call it for what it is not being biast just saying just stupid to compare it when you know the 240 has a bigger advantage

Umm not to sound like a jerk but his gear ratio's are tighter, and he's boosted at 8PSI even with the shorter rev range, the gearing is better.
You can't spank a 2.4 liter at 8PSI when you are only 7PSI 2.0 liter, not unless your gearing is tighter.

Thread closed, because honestly I don't really give a ****, and it is giving Bigg a headache..
