You blurboed people crack me up !

Insane high r.p.m.'s ? What do you consider high ?

High compression ? Again, what is high to you ?

Higher powerband ?

Vtec ?

You imports people forget about cubic inches. N/A and more C.I. levels the playing field everytime.
it seems like you domestics seem to forget about what that clock at the end of the track means. it it reads a better time for me than it does you guess what i won. doesent matter if its a turbo 2.0l 4 banger or a billy bad ass v8. granted there arent too many of the import guys that can hang with you guys but the few that do JUST ADMIT IT! our motors take different setupt to run the times that you do so i really dont understand what you are getting at. pleas explain.

Hello my name is Billy Badass.. and I drive a V-8....

of course for me N/A is the way to go.. you have to work for the power, and I mean work at the combo..

My drink of choice?
351 base
14:1+ compression
8k shift points (nothing better than hearing a V-8 sing at this RPM)
outcome?
600HP+ at the crank.... and that was last yaer's combo..
we'll see what happens next year, probably will throw a little spray at it to run the stock suspension class @ Sunshine...., but I'd be right in the mix on motor...

nitrous is a pain in the a$$ you got to keep that bottle full and warm,its too much of a headache
superchargers are nice especially on the street but the motor is constantly under load and falls short on top end
turbochargers are sweet! its like having a N/A motor with NOS but never have to worry to refill

I found out that out here in Az you aren't allowed to have a NOS bottle in your car, and if you have one there is a hefty fine to go with it.
