Gator,
blown98z is dreaming. Like the ragtop in question, he is adding a nos shot on top of his Procharger in hopes of keeping up with me. We've never raced and when we do he won't like it.

Well, so far, the car's only raced in fantasyland. I don't know too many folks (except maybe on the import boards...) who post a quarter mile time in their sig, before the car has run the time. I guess it's more of an ETA instead of an ET...

I only wish someone had a 3 lane dragstrip, so we could race each other at the same time. It would be more fun, efficient and profitable that way.

Looking at my sig, I can't find an ET, but I have somehow become an honorary future member of the 10 second club.

Good grief Charlie Brown. Your Z can't beat mine even with Gregg Anderson driving yours.

How come they can all have power adders and you cant? I think if it is to be a fair race it should be power adder vs power adder and see what happens.For $2000, I'm going to do the most stealth install you'll ever see and spray their ***. Where is this race going to happen at?

Oh, I'm going to spray mine, but both of them want boost AND spray. I say: one power adder only.

If he wants you to run N/A, that means you spray him, no questions asked. Spray a galaxy at it and collect the money.

The race will probably never happen. He won't run a 1/4 mile at the track. He's worried about getting flagged for no rollbar. I'd be totally nuts to race him in the 1/8th like he wants... My car is a good bit heavier and is setup to make it's power at the end of the track. Actually, with a 200 shot, I think his car would probably beat mine in a heads up race. It was never built to be the fastest car at the track. Mine is setup to run 11.0. That's where I want to keep it for bracket racing. When I get bored with that, I might build a faster one. Right now, I'm having a blast learning to race. In a bracket race, I'd smoke him...

If you run King Street you'll get a chance to bracket race against Darcy in it, who'll have to run 11.50 or slower.

What's his race weight compared to yours? If he is alot less you may have trouble. Otherwise, you may win if you beat him out of the hole.

I would try to find a track 100 yards or so wide, considering he has no suspension mods

Bickels car is slightly above average. Without the N2O he would be lucky to pull a 13.5, if he wants to beat me he better put in the 200 hp jets....and cross his fingers.

His vert has to be around 3900 to 4000 versus my 3500, and that translates to a bunch of power.

My 83 year old mother can shift better than you. Just pay me the money now and save yourself the time. Didn't you make a 3-2 shift last year and bend some rocker arms, and stuff?

Maybe I was and maybe I wasn't, but she's my mother either way. I'll ask next time I speak with her.

So you are teeing it up with Darcy on Sunday, while I try to figure out why my Firebird bounces down the track? Think you can keep up with her 75 shot?

No problem. It may be tricky to line up with her, but I'm game. We can at least match time slips... Good luck with the Firebird. Hope it turns out to be a simple adjustment.
