We'll call it the competition for people who don't make enough power but want to feel good about themselves.

You guys are funny as hell with what's a street car and what's not. Who gives a ****. If you lose or win it doesn't change the fact that it's a W or an L. All those guys that ran in Drag Week drove what... over 1200 miles and ran over 200mph traps? Do you think they ******* care if some dumbass website says they're not street cars?

Run what you brung and hope you brought enough.

You don't see 300lb sprinters or short hairy Italian swimmers in the Olympics do you? But according to some people's logic on here would say that Usain(sp?) Bolt is not a normal human...lol. GTFO.

Sometimes I think some of "you's" guys have hatchet wounds between your legs.

Ya, this is strickly a furd thing lil buddy. lol

When I goto the strip, I like to use tires that have a good chance of hooking.

I don't goto the strip if I want to do 60+mph burnouts.

This is what the tread of my BFG Sport comp 2s will look like.

Is this classified as a Full Race Car mod since I'm not running on tires ACTUALLY FROM 1986?

Those are a pretty decent tire. I had them on my orange car and was surprised how they grip.

Lol, those will be the rears for my coupe. I wanted something with OK traction that has good tread wear and decent in the rain. I plan on driving this car every day with the only exception being snow/ice.

lol. My "built" 5.4 is really a replacement since it consists of:

.12 comp increase
My OEM 16yr old heads/valves with a valve job (came with the car)
Same intake (widened)
Blower cams (not optimum n/a combo for sure)
No long tubes

What head castings are going to be on your 366? 243 or the 315's?

But I'll take a side bet. What about using corrected times? I'm sure the air is better up there than in FL. That way it will be fair. I gotta get to the track soon. Starting to heat up down here. DA is going to ****...fast. My 11.6 run was close to 500ft DA.

You and your boyfriend always getting on my for running a bias ply at the track and bitch and cry when I say his Bogarts and drag radials are just as much "Drag trim" as any other 15s with bigs and skinnies.....

It's a dead horse....He's deeply upset my car went faster and quicker than his and thats what it boils down too..
