exactly lolGrr, u congratulated me after my 11.47 pass was that because you felt sorry for me doing that in a civic? i mean if your such a american muscle leg humper on here why would you say that to me?
what does that have to do with anything? you did a good job getting the car there, no objections. and im not a muscle leg humper ive owned and messed with alot of other things, but when the goal is to to make a race car it just makes sense to start with a reasonably easy platform, aka RWD v8
It was cool to see you do that, but, its still a gutted FWD honda. Sorry its one thing to have a fast car but another that can do it in "street trim", aka, not gutted, on reasonable tires and such. I can go get my drag sled out that weighs 320lbs and run 10s, then come on here and run my mouth that i did it with only 190hp and its an import to boot, but it wouldnt be that big of a deal now would it, since im not gonna drive it to BIR and go arbys like that and pick up some roast beef

Oh i have been wanting to ask you, how is the trip on those slicks when they are that low? Any big issues with shimmy (other than tq steer) or nervousness making the turnoff at the end?

not at all, these slicks run down the track very well, i mean when they are low its kinda hard to turn but thats about it. my slicks i had last year shook my whole car on deccerlation tho bad.

ummmm.... no.Yeah, I realize it probably didn't originate there, but that was the first time I recall hearing it said....
And on a side note, how the hell did this thread go on for this long. Displacement+Compression+Air+Fuel=HP (probably not the exact formula, but close enough), any time you adjust any one of those 4 basic components, HP will adjust as well (generally speaking).
