And just cause you have a worse DA dosnt mean someone with a better DA has an advantage, if you came down to 0 DA you would have the same advantage....
i understand i would have the same advantage in the same DA. and youd have the same disadvantage here, same with the gasoline, which is why i take a lot of these internet times with a grain of salt.

I hate your -1000 and then more DA's. Best I get is +250 for like a couple weeks. Which usually get rained out. LOL Then summer comes back and we are at +3600 to 5000 or worse.

This guy knows. I run my car in a fashion where I could drive it anywhere in the country if I wanted with out changing a thing. I do have different wheels/tires for specific things but all are easily dd-able.

I don't go to the track to try to "bust " out a time to brag my **** up and then change the car back to street form....be it gas or tires. You guys can do what you want and I don't care. But for comparison's sake when it's got race gas in it....I'm not interested even a little, same goes for nos.

nice old Ford MauriSS

NICE!! that thing should run hard! makes close to the same power as mine (of course mines through a much more inneficient drivetrain) + 800lbs less than mine. I love those vipers, though i like the first gen GTS looks more!

Badass killemall, got a dyno graph to show us? Sounds like you picked up nearly 60whp off the cam upgrade. Do you kinda wish you didn't even bother with the coupe cam?

It just amazes me how with just upper/lower pulleys plus bolt-ons, tune..the ZR1 will go 9's @ 140-145 on a drag radial. And thats thru the stock manifolds, mid-pipe and muffler, full-weight. That's just insane.
