FWIW, every NMRA and FFW events I have been to, ALL the slick tired cars used the water box and did a burnout. And for those that don't know these are cars that ranged from 6 secs to 15. So I think I'm gonna follow suit.
BBB- Just give your advice that don't give your opinion to anyone else's advice. Believe me I look at the people giving advice and look at their cars to see if what they say works. (Ex. I'll take Derricks advice over some dude with a car that thinks 1.7's is a good 60ft on slicks.
) But you gota be doing something right to yank the left front on that 4k+lb land yacht of yours. 
Thanks for all who chimed in. Hope to see eveyone on the 26th. -Mark

It's funny, I tried to stay out of FFA and get more into the tech side of TR, but it seems there's just as much arguing. I guess I'm just too damned opinionated

Funny thing is I was just talking about this the other day. I stated my method you stated yours then you decided to argue about it yet again, similar to other threads.
Need to learn how to not reply to what others are stating as their opinion and reply to the person asking the questions.
If your method works for you great ! Mine works for me. Most cars use the waterbox, I used it for years but I tried it without on a hot day and it worked better than ever. Personally I do not want to build heat in my turbo system and auto tranny sitting in the waterbox if I do not need to which was my reasoning for skipping the waterbox last time. The single (and very light) dryhop was at the suggestion of Wade at BMP after he watched my run. Make sense ?
P.S. I have the same exact shocks (Monroe) but I did a little trick with them to make them work even better at the track.

Then it's over. Funny thing is, later on they end up taking my advice anyway

That wasn't meant to be negative in anyway shape or form. I just compared you to someone in the analogy of the best vs the average or worst. Someday I'll carry the fronts like you... it may be behind a tow truck but they'll be up nonetheless!
