Billy's analogy was using awd vehicles and you tried to use it as an example.

it applies fine. For a better understanding think of it this way...... Your tires are accelerating at a faster rate but eventutally the car catches up to it. When you launch a car hard and get it to hook You lost the extra momentum .

MPH= Measure of horsepower
ET= Measure of how effiecenetly you can use your horsepower.

I cant really vouch for Blake's car because I only ran him on low boost, But I can vouch for Alberto's (jsimon) car.... Dont let it fool you, its pretty damn fast.... I trapped 114.67mph on my last setup on 16psi, and on 16.5 psi, that car gave me HELL!!! You can go ahead and sleep on it if you want to, but with all due respect, I would probably put my money on him if it were in a roll race situation.....

Damn.... I sure cant wait til this new motor is done so I can come back out and defend the Honda camp....

And Boostin you must remember that we are dealing with a couple of RICERS here. We have been in the middle of this before and were stood up come race time. I think these guys need to start walkin the talk they are dishing out.

do me a favor pops.... leave me out of this one, your call out is coming soon enough kind sir.... im not a ricer nor do i feel the need to race you at this point, im working on suspensioon right now so im not in the place that most other fwd cars are... you will have your whole 1.6 seconds of fame cuz im sure after the 60 foot youll be in my rearview

.... thank you and have a good day.....

Nice kill vertigo on the modded 03 Cobra.I think cj's kinda funny believing because he can beat cars at 78th st(what maybe a 1/8 mile?) from a dig he's invincible from a stop.Wake up TURBO is the answer.
