Nor does the fact that he took it to Burger King.

And I'm not one to play the dyno queen game. As long as my car gets down the track faster than the guys in the next lane, I don't care how much power he makes on the dyno.

My point is that if you're going to build a motor that's going to require a mix of 103/93 to go to WOT on motor, you might as well build a motor that's going to take 116 to run. Why not run 14.5:1/15:1 compression and make much more power?

as for this dude running his mouth about "someone elses car" - who gives a rats ****. unless YOUR car can back it up, shut it.

- rant off.

"This new set up makes over 650 rwhp With 488 rear end gears. The converter is still not what we want so that's more testing we have to do. Our goal is to put this car in the 8s on motor. Then we will be on to the juice."


hers a pic.. jay Nrc motorsports

Congrats on your car. I know you will have a lot of run with it.

Futral Rocks!!!!
