There's no reason to have any kind of pressure drop, the car is only making one run per couple hours and can run cool enough on methanol to not need one.

Thats Paul Efantis and he holds the world record fastest car on drag radials. He ran 8.46 @167 for the world record pass at NOPI in Texas last month. At NOPI in Bradenton he almost and shouldve broken the record with an 8.30 but he hit the rev limiter about 75 feet before the traps and therefore only ran 8.54:o

Is that the record for fastest import on radials because I know Troy Pirez has gone 8.30's in his Nova at around 3500-3600lbs.

Yea, and only half the weight.

I know it's not a fair comparison. It's like apples and oranges. I have respect for both though.

Like you said its like compairing apples and oranges but the supra that holds that record is nowhere near half the weight of the nova. You said the NOVA is around 3500-3600 lbs. well the supra is about 2900lbs or so. It is still like comparing apples and oranges though. I just wanted to get you straight with the weight
