i am sure you are gonna spray the living crap out of it just like your boyfriend and all the other cars that are fast around your neck of the woods. TNT 150 shot should do you well. two stages would be better.

one day i will pull out this stupid tired setup so i can run quick. shrug.

I am a cheep bastard so the motor will stay the same "stock short block" unless it blows but I doubt it will it has been drinking about a 1/2 gallon of antifrezze every 1k for the last year its going out the exhaust side but I am finally tearing it down to put new head gaskets on it next month. Plus I am looking to get her down in the 2900's with A/C & full interior ...

Well, those other cars down here don't have to spray to run 11.1 and 11.4 on motor on spray they are stupid fast The Man's car went out last Weds night trapped 122.78 on drag radials on motor, was 122 traps all night to my 113.7 traps and I was down MPH by a good 1.5 for the temp and altitude of a good 900 ft.

Nah, not much of a shot don't wanna be changing my gears to 3.73's just yet for spray. I could spray alot but I probably won't it all depends I will let the Guys guinea pig my set up and have some fun running it any way they want. I prefer motor, but I am for the track rule going to shoot to stay within the 11.5 rule because I truly don't want a roll cage in this car, maybe someday another one but this one's too nice to gut the interior and make it all out race

Hey Mikey, that sucks dude about the anti freeze

I guess you didn't understand what I was saying. Almost 123 traps on a car that wasn't hooking in 2nd, or 3rd gear cutting a 1.9 60' on drag radials trapping close to 123 with an 11.6-11.7 ET on motor without spray was my point in retro to you speaking of some of the cars down here spraying the living crap out of them when they aren't.

Yeah, those guys up there are running some crazy numbers. I think I saw 12.5's out of a tuned heads/cam car. Science is one the dyno thing, laying it down on the track is another
