Edit-Bigbri my problem is the limit of this 60-1 (roughly 500whp at best) thats not enough. Anyways enough about me and my slowness

PS you should be making a hell of alot more HP at 23 psi than 640-650...

Julian you still dont understand that regardless of how similar your set-up/weight is to Jason's car, you cannot compare his achievments, look at your more powerful set-up and start subtracting ET off his 1/4 time as an estimater to what YOU will do. This is a joke-and the people who really know drag racing all agree and will continue to agree. Now please stop posting your logic as it is making you look bad. All we ever said is that you will likely not run 10's in your car (judging by what you have done) with your current set-up. Not that it wasnt capable or that your car was slow!
Did you see me agree with him?
No

This is where it all started...I simply said my car by all theories i tested should go 10 second runs. At some point it became a **** measuring contest instigated by 2 premier members, not me.

#3 Someone attacks me, I going to attack back.I am simply defending my credibility as a performance shop against a premier memeber with no credibility IMO. Certain members feel the need to constantly contest others and cause these silly debates/arguments.
#4 One member even got very disrespectful against me, and there was a complete lack of moderation on this...
#5 I used sharif's name as well as others who have posted big numbers and have been regarded as the "heavy hitters"...Why do you only choose to bring up his name? I am in no way bashing but if your first comment is true :
Then some of the other sponsors would also be obligated to correct their numbers or be as true and accurate as possible. Why am I the only one being bashed??There are a plethola of others out there with big claims, and little evidence..

Bottom line here is Alberto has an underlying agenda in causing this ruckus and attacking me..I however will do my best to provide whatever materials the forum members as a whole would like to see..I think a time slip and a dyno jet dyno would be fair..It is possible the dyno dynamics corrections are off and the numbers are less, and if that is the case I have nothing to hide..My car is fast and I know it, and I built my car for myself, not anyone else.
I feel as a moderator you have no right to make comments on an open debate which you are not part of. simply do your job, moderate the inapropriate material and language and warn those involved and be done..But as a moderator you should not be taking sides or passing judgment..IMO.
And, even if I were, why wouldn't I be able to make comments? It is as you say, an open debate if not an open discussion.
Look forward to your dyno sheet and time slip. Good luck to you.

ok, i think i see what's going on here. you guys have differing phylosophies (sp?). Some of you think of the quarter mile time as the ultimate and final goal in which case it is the driver's personal acheivement, like a sport, a way to compare PEOPLE. While others think of the quarter mile time as just a proxy for the car's performance which represents the acheivement of the person building the car, a way to compare CARS.
If your grandma drives a ferrari, is it not still a 12 second car? not in the sense that grandma will get a 12 second ET but in the sense that the car, as a piece of macheinery will still have the same performance value as other 12 second cars.

They've already been measured. If you need to measure yours, that's up to you.
