Dissapointing... car ran better on the nitrous. Shane I'm surprised you even ran it before it was completely ready. I wish I could give you a run after its fully tuned : (

Actually its running about the same on the base tune i still have some odds and ends to finish up before then tearing the car down in a few months and doing a cam and valvetrain.

You are wrong!!!...do you see long *** trains pulled by 1 Locomotive? NOPE! They didnt start the train w/ 1 Locomotive and give it push w/ 3 others sayn "have a good trip!!"..power to weight ratio..study IT!!
, try pushing a car from a stop, then try pushing the car faster when its already rolling....tell me its just as hard.

I thought you beat that car on the bottle before? Either way, to bad we cant run after you get it squared away. I've got the car running pretty damn good now, from the dig as well.

The only way to figure out acceleration is to first know the MASS of the object! You would be wrong!! Physics STUDY IT!! As for Trains they use the pusher engine for the whole trip! Ask me how I know!! Ive worked for UPRR for about 6 years now
If weight had no effect then a 18 wheeler Peterbuilt should be able to pass a car on the highway just about as fast as a stock 2010 RS/SS Camaro! Being the Pete has more peak HP WAYYYY more TQ and alot better gearing with the 2 speed rear end!!!!

^^ not sure if are in disagreement w/ me..Mass=Weight..power to weight ratio Is Physics! ^^ my argument was itsslow98 2 him period! Sayn "weight isnt a factor from a roll"..4 example, if u have two equally powered cars, if traction wasnt a factor ,and one ways less lighter than the other one..then he's wrong!...so yea u said if weight had no factor in ur last post then what are u tryn to prove?

Im in agreement that weight is a huge factor! Too make it simple let's say u and I are in a race. I am pushing an empty shopping cart, you are pushing a vw beetle. Both of us are at a walking speed side by side at let's say 3mph*. On the count of three we are going to take of and see who can beat the other up to a certain point (wether the point is a speed or physical location 100' ahead of us doesn't matter). We count to three and take off who do u think will max speed or the location 100' ahead first?!

you guys are forgetting about all the lbs of drag that the car produces at higher speeds when roll racing. The drag starts to play a bigger role and the weight of the vehicle starts to diminish as speeds increase, so yes weight of the vehicle from a roll is not as big of a factor.
