I think cory would give him a run for his money from a dig on motor. that would have really hurt his feelings.

Really think a 300 HP car VS a 411 HP car would be a race from a dig?? I mean ya the Mach has 4.10's but I really don't think that would make up for the 100 HP difference.

Small noids most likely. When I had the small noids and lines on my car made around 435rwhp & 515rwtq on a 150 shot, then I switched to the large NX noids and -6 feed line and shark nozzle, with the same pill size I put down 485rwhp & 570 rwtq.

I meant the exterior was a dark grey / tan color, not the interior.

Yeah I am hoping to be in the 440ish range with Longtubes, also Dan I have the Big Noids (race kit) but I dont know if I have the lines you are talking about. You have to remember Dan you had Longtubes and I dont. I hope to have them soon I have wanted them things since I bought the damn car. lol. Also I have no clue what would have happened from a dig I know I would have jumped out hard....and I am sure he would have caught me I just dont know when...99ta is not the only person that thinks I would have hung with him N/A from a dig....dan send me a pm of more info about these lines and shark nozzle? Thanks for them compliments again guys!!

My car weighed 3580-3600 with me in it, 2 nitrous bottles, and half a tank of gas. Also yes when it comes to Drag racing its gear tire and driver.....even from a roll I am not big believer in numbers as I have beatan cars with 500rwhp and trap in the 125 range from a roll.......on paper should that happen?? Nope. But it did.

On the street I disagree....people just go by numbers and it gets old they dont factor in weight,tire,gear, driver,N/A,Boost,spray......so yeah all of those can turn the tables real quick on race even from a roll. The bigger hp car does NOT ALWAYS WIN!!!!

Well you obviously can't be retarded about it however given some information on the cars, I can tell you by looking at dyno charts which car should win.

Oh I always go by MPH of the person's run to size them up, not their power level.

I agree with you...but in my case I have beaten cars that trap in the 125 range from a roll and I dunno if I would trap that? Also when I run full bolt on LS-1's that trap 112 n/a and beat them I dont think I would trap that? Like I said every setup is different. Also going by charts thats a tough one...I just pick the nitrous car
