Yeah it will probably be the beginning of next month actually because I want to do a test with only the Drag radials then do the 1.7 rockers and see how much it helps.

yea i mean everyone is gonna have their complaints and disagreements about the rules. we are going to try and make them as fair as possible but it seems like everyone will have to sacrifice something in one way shape or form in the end.

either way it should be a hell of a time!

They keep debating on whats aloud and not aloud on the cars and to many people I have seen are building cars just for this class which takes away from the Street thing because people have money to throw together a bolt on car and make it run 11's

Mine went a little lean going from 1.6's to 1.7's, a small adjustment was needed.

1.6 to 1.7 also the scorpions are a lot louder than my 1.6,s and I had to gut my valve covers to clear them and they still barely go on so bigger valve covers would make it easier , but all the trouble and $$$ wasnt worth 8rwhp not to mention the hardened pushrods also I had to buy
