we ran twice at twin cities and yeah you are 2-0. good job. but at the end of the day i ran the same time as you and on a drag radial, something your car cant do. so anytime we meet i can produce the time...and so can you if everyone can wait for you to go home and get your big bad slick. also let me point out that any one of the 6 speeds has more money in the 9 inch then i have in all my mods, and you cant hook from a dig without a tire thats more or less not practical to drive on the street. Stalled auto for king of the street *******

Mine has run in the 11's on a stock rearend, so has Chads (nitrobusa)car. Steve I wouldn't count Nittos as a DR they actually suck compared to MT DR's. Your car would run much better with a set. Next time we go we will put my Bogarts fronts and rears on your car and you will get your 11 sec pass.

You talking to me I assume?
Well if so, I'm in the oil field but not offshore. I don't have the shop anymore (I sure do miss having that place) just trying to make a livin and work on the Hotrod a little bit.

I will run one of ya'lls six speed cars at the track. I have one of those slow a4 cars no weight reductions. Looks like I will have to come down to twin city in a couple of weeks as long as they run tnt on sunday and do a little dialing on a couple of cars for the 11 sec time slips.

I think its known that cars with the same HP and different Tq values will have different outcomes in a drag race, all other variables being constant.

actually i wont bc this one has done so well this far and has probably seen lots of abuse through its life that i will just buy another stock one and put it in. im not shelling out $2000 for a built trans. And besides that, it did way better sunday then i expected, i felt like i could have run the track 100 times and not broken anything.<<<--and i really wasn't expecting that. even if it last me through the year then breaks, i can get a replacement for a couple hundred. i could go through 5 before i will have paid for a built one.
