I may I may not, however if it makes him happy leave him alone.

I know this is not bryan's way, but it is a way
Thats not fair. The post said pump gas. My way is not the only way, it is just the pump gas only way.

Its because its hard to do and it is a challenge. Anyone can go get race fuel and make the power. Doing it with 93 Oct is just more of a challange. What do you think my setup would be making if I put 112 in my car, and raised the timing. I feel pretty certain over 1000. Don't you?

Have you had a chance to get to the track yet this year? Just curious to see how dyno and the MPH numbers are trending in the thread.

Well technically Bryan does NOT have a C5-R motor. If he had c5r heads then I would say yes. But now with the intro of the ls7, a "stock" aluminum 427 build will be attainable.
Mightymouse has a bad *** setup, but it would be neat to see what it would hit with no Meth.

I asked about the pumpgas cars because that is what I find interesting. For those interested, I am close to the final stages of getting my top of the line forged 347" motor with twin turbo's together for well under $11k complete.

Pumpgas is where it's at on the street. I've always enjoyed a little chuckle at the local "slow" gearheads in my town that need racegas just to go 11's or 12's. Kinda pathetic.

Lets not turn this into a battle, but instead see what others are able to do and appreciate it. I am not gonna say mightymouse is slow because he can only make 750-800 hp on pumpgas, That is crazy power, But why does he even need meth?? Does it really make a big difference on the street?

11 grand for a top of the line motor and twin turbo kit? You're kidding right? You can spend 11 grand for each one of those individually, if you're talking TOP of the line.
