well i wasnt being serious......about ag but if he is only running a high 9...? then i will be hopefully biting at his heels. and for the nitrous the block will be able to handle quite a bit i firgure the car should do a low 11 high 10 on motor.. with transbrake and they car will be hitting pretty hard with a good shot.. the car weighs 2900 with cage. i am jus waiting on my progressive controler then i am going to hit it with a nice big shot! and see where that puts me. the car was built around nitrous down to the pistons, rings, cam etc so it should respond well
