I would think dual power adders would be fair due to a 159 c.i. disadvantage. I mean if you wanna nitpick

A procharger is ONE power adder. Alky injection is NOT a power adder.

Your kidding right? Watch the video carefully and listen. I told the viper guy we'll run them anyway he wants. Name your sweet spot. He said his sweet spot is 35mph. I started in 2nd instead of first so I can hook up, but I was at only like 3 grand. Thats no boost yet. The viper didn't back off until I was in 4th. I shift to 4th at over 110 mph. It may have seemed like a short race, but remember, fast cars get there pretty damn quick. All you guys who think the race was "too quick", ride in a fast car and see how quick a race goes down.

Alky is like having an intercooler + a little racefuel. It helps cool the intake charge and "raise" the octane level of the gas so you can run more timing. There are three power adders for cars (turbo, supercharger, and N2O).

I consider alky to be a fuel--it should be mentioned, just like race gas should be mentioned when comparing track times/dyno numbers. But like race gas, its only a compliment.

I didn't truly grasp this until I piloted a 900+hp viper. I got to 4th gear in matter of seconds.

You did win reguardless but it wasnt an spanking, i too would like to see another race and one from a dig.... hmmm i believe fayetteville has a track..... why not bring it out on a sunday or wednesday or the first friday of every month then there will be no people bashing do to so many variables and you can see who is a better driver and who has a faster car. just a suggestion
