Sure it would. I don't have anything against an auto. I just prefer to really drive the car as opposed to being along for the ride. Here's a story to illustrate: You stage your car, then get out. I throw a brick just right through the back window. The brick lands on the skinny pedal up under the dash. Not only does the car launch like a rocket, it will probably run a faster time than it would had you been driving (and I use the term 'driving' loosely) because the car is 200 lbs. lighter without you in it. How in Hell do you call that driving if a damn brick can turn a better ET than you can? No offense to the auto guys, lol. Just bustin' your chops a bit Dan. It'll all be over here in a couple months. Win or lose, I'll get us a round or two. Quote: That is the advantage I have that I hope will help make up for my overweight and underpowered 'vert. (never thought I'd run 131 in the 1/4 and call it underpowered!!) No doubt man, it is a huge advantage. 131 is haulin' the mail, no doubt. But I went 119 on motor before the AFR heads, and I really think it'll do 122 or so now. On 150 I should be mid 130's no sweat, and creeping on 138-140 with a 250 shot. With that kind of MPH, assuming my non-driving ass can net even a mid 1.7, I think I've got you covered. Quote: Anyway, I know when I'm all dialed in and done adding hp and tq, you will out mph me by a few at least, but I think (read, hope to hell), that I can eek you by a tenth or 2. If not, I'll buy you a beer and sign your timeslip gladly and be happy with all the fun we had. No doubt man, I'll gladly sign the slip as well. It's all in fun, no mal-intent on this side of the computer. Quote: BTW: I bought a full kegerator setup that isn't fully attached to the fridge, and have a 1/6th keg of Michelob Amber Bock in the basement fridge so I'l gladly supply the beer, win or lose. If you don't like Amber Bock let me know a few days or so ahead of time so I can hurry up and kick the keg and get a refill of something else! I'm easy man, I like beer that's brown. See you at the track! |
