Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

NIC car vs. XP car



Brandon lied and said my traction control was off -_-
2 ****ty launches and one that somehow was okay... Oh well.
 
i did not lie. you asked when we came back into town if it was off and you did a burn out and i said no it wasn't off cus it shut u down. YOU lies.

Lol you said it was off for the races but it clearly wasnt. I mean its my fault and it doesnt really matter but it explains a lot.
Considering when I punched it that day at 50mph earlier on I still lost traction lol.
 


Silver car is mine, mods are:
L26 Block
NIC cam
105# valve springs
Street tune
3.5" pulley
Open Cone

And I'm not sure about the XP shift points, but my trans is stock/stock tune.

Edit: yea you still beat me fair and square lol

^basically copied from FB. If I had driver mod that day it probably wouldn't have been so close lol. Traction control ftw.
 


Right? I have a gen V with a 3.1 pulley, NIC, headers and N* setup and it domestically abuses the street.
 
I was runnin the 3.25 pulley that day too to be safe cause im getting KR on the 3.1 with my fuel pump dieing.

Mulletodestroyero.

Didn't one of the first NIC cammed cars run manifolds anyways? With something dumb like a 2.6" on a GenIII?
 
Id trade for a NIC any day. If i hadn't gotten a stupid deal on my XP I would have gotten a NIC.

With race gas and a 2.8 I think, according to ZZplease's website.

nic can run really small pullies, and it really needs to to be effective.

Any links or any specific throughly explained examples you wish to share to go into more detail?

I wouldn't stress about it too much. Granted the NIC seems to love smaller pulleys than the XP (on similar setups), both are still good cams.

No headers? Do you have a gen 3 or 5 SC?

Oh yea, and headers lol and I'm on a Gen 3, Gen V just came in the mail today lol

That car needs way smaller of a pulley and a tune to reap benefits.

Then race him again :)

Yea, main reason I didn't wanna push it to the limit was bc of the trans.

With an NIC and headers, I can't see why you couldn't run anywhere from a 3.2-3.3 on a gen 3. With 1.9 rockers, headers, ZZP intake and a 180 tstat I ran a 3.3 on my car before the gen v, cam and N* setup.
