Does anyone think I have a chance?

I guess that depends on your idea of "lost". I was ahead of him the whole time in the first race (to 150). In the 2nd run, at the point of the 1/4 mile, I still was in the lead. It wasn't until way after the 1/4 mile that he pulled me. His top end was for sure stronger than mine, but it seemed my car was quicker down low and to the 1/4 mile (at least from a roll).
Yeah, no disrespect intended... I too have lost a few races on the backend....As for my ride which is a 4.0l quad cam v8 motor and 100 shot of nitro I get a ton of low rpm power, and lot's of torque when the juice is flowing.. So I am usually out in front in all my races..Good traction, dampening, LSD, rear weight, front end lifts a bit, etc.. However, it's a real challenge for me to keep some of those big boosted rides from passing me on the back half of 5those quarter mile races.. I feel ya....
why would you have to swap the tranny? not to be an ***, but i have read most of you posts and you realy need to do some research before posting anymore.

Nice runs. Always fun to watch when its that close. But I bet it was even better being there
As far as the transmission goes "yes", however I am following concepts thoughts, as I have a 441 RWHP LS1 car, and its just a heads and cam car with bolt ons. A fully forged, and built 382 LS1 should easily make 500 to the wheels, even through a stalled auto, then add the 200 shot of juice, and I am thinking he is probably in the 700 RWHP range.
