Post a pic of your tires. ...... Let's see the rain grooves in them. I'll do the same.

Are you saying cars go slower on a 2step and slicks? ?? Same speed?? Or faster??

when you take a car's performance into consideration is that not a factor? Especially if your comparing them or searching for speed.

no crying involved. .......just facts please.

Who said it would go slower?

Instead of doing it for your car you cry and use it as something to discredit someone kinda like every argument you have if you don't have it on your car then its an unfair advantage what about us guys with Synco'd trannys? Does a Faceplated tranny make the car faster? same speed? slow down?

And for what it's worth my car slowed down when I'd launch it off my 2 step and I unplugged my WOT box so with my experience my 2 step did slow my car down

Nothing wrong with using electronics and tire technology.

I vote for hutted or gacked to be the proper term for Hio's car.

How much rwhp does it take to push a 3000# car to very low 10's at 135 mph?


So your car isn't hacked or gutted, so what would you call my Fox Body?



Do you think a 2 step and slicks make a car faster?

What's the difference between free revving it and using a 2 step? Consistency. I have not seen much of an advantage when cars use 2 steps compared to ones that don't.

Yep, he's crying about a two step, something that don't even make the car faster, just more consistent.

No buddy, a 2 step is were you want it, a rev limiter is at the end of the band. 2 step on a boosted engine alows boost to be made before the car moves
