So breaking parts is it true you put on smaller slicks and added juice to your car for that wheelie pic, looks to me you did the same thing I have done. You added juice to maybe not a mediocre car like me but to a mediocre driver like you

Its true I had a small tire on that day, but no spray. Does it look like I'm a mediocre driver?? your a ball breaker.

This is the best thread I have read in forever, and somehow knowing a few involved makes it so much better. I actually would like to see what is being compared here, Breakinparts I know your ole bucket of bolts, and have no doubts of it getting down the track in a hurry, trust me guys, Krispy Kremes don't slow this cowboy down, although I don't understand why not. Stealthstang, whats the specs on yours, don't think I have seen your car, but it sure looks shiny!!!

so, the ratio of reading and posting is kindof low eh?

No, I doubt that is where Drag racing is headed. I couldn't care less either way....

Breakingballs. Love the pizza cutters on the rear. I don't know much about cars, but that must drastically increase your rear gear ration eh?

This year-old tune was 535rwhp and 560ishrwtq and was also tuned with a different cam.

fast forward to this past winter (2011). I put in a turbo kit, okay.........took it to get tuned and it made 650rwhp and 712rwtq. This was in June of this year (2011). Haven't been to the track since the new tune/combo.
What is your race weight? What size tire? Gear? You made 535 RWHP and ran a 10.84@130?

Crash used to run 10.30's @ 137mph with a 306 back in the mid 90's also on pump gas, but since that was faster than any NHRA superstocker at the time they bought the car and had it destroyed to save the racers the embarrassment....he took the money and signed a waver not to race for 15 years....
