the main reason I went SC is, I like the hp curve it's like a pissed off V8 and less things to go wrong at least for now.

With power numbers higher than you I could hook up 100% in 2nd gear, how is it you dont have traction with the numbers in your sig? I think you need to learn throttle control and set up your suspension/alignment.

BTW-Doug could launch his car in 3rd gear and pass you by the time he hit 4th lol...

I need some coilover's. I'm 30 years old and have been draging half my life I don't need a lesson in throttle control. Maybe some people need a lesson on manors surely not referring to this forum. LOL And in a 1/8 you don't hit 4th till the end of the line.

LOL-ignorance is bliss huh?

In a 500+whp well driven Z you are into 4th gear by the 1/8 mile, geez you need to step back and take a break.

Experienced drag racers don't shift right before the end to another gear. Bert.. since I don't have a MT, don't you finish up in 3rd in the 1/8 mile

I think Bert was talking about the 1/4 mile. I've never heard of him going down a 1/8 mile track before.

Haha honestly I want to keep the event in a competetive range.... superchargers on a Z just don't cut it, unless you have a built bottom and some spray on top. Now that we have it all figured out, its time to push it to the limit!
