On a longer runway or highway, I wouldn't doubt that. If all I do is run gears 2-3-4, good luck! My first gear is too steep and fifth gear is too long. 2-3-4 tough to beat. You put in a 600+ whp map, maybe you'll catch me from behind at the end. You know as the reigning champ, you're everyone's target, right?

How about you let me take a quick look at your ECU wiring for a few minutes? Not calling you out Tom, not with what 900 on race fuel? We'll see what happens... I already bribed Sharif to kill the race fuel idea. (j/k not really!)

Unless RudeG shows up, I'm not worried. LOL.Where is RudeG? Haven't seen him around. Probably AZ too far? Oh well.
You wouldn't run a race fuel map against me, would you? Jeez, I'm spotting all you guys close to 100 whp already.
Seriously, I heard there were logistic issues. Are you bringing C16? Spill the beans.

Well you and Tom can have a good go at it in the 800-900 range.

I know next year I wont have a chance with the GT35 on this track 
And I am quite sure for that reason you will be looking for a shorter track to host this event

....And whats stopping you from coming....its only half hour drive from your house

If so, you might have a problem this year,... Especially if ALBERTO shows up, lol.
Remember...I am over 700whp on Sharif's dyno and 800 on the other dyno..lol.....and I plan on showing you all 700-800 I know next year I wont have a chance with the GT35 on this track And I am quite sure for that reason you will be looking for a shorter track to host this event

Make sure that all you trash talkers sign up on the website. Lets get you little bishes registered. Don't be lazy....Dilsher....and don't think you get a free ride, becuase you are reigning champ.
This year, I am making a REALLY nice Top Dawg Trophy....what till you see it!

Exactly,...
Its not about win or loose. Its about showing up.
Just ask Sharif, he de-tuned my car for this event because that's what good shop owners do to customers cars that do not know how to drive,... that being me <-- I always miss 3rd gear, always

Besides, you have a 5AT - every one of your hp is worth two on the 6MT.

Meh. Maybe. Doubt it on a short runway - the only reason I did/do well is because the gearing is exactly perfect for this runway length. I top out 4th. I do believe even with MY 3.5 back end, my gears are still longer than the 6MT with 3.3 FD. I wouldn't even try to race past 140 with the top end monsters.

When I put in my Carbonetics rear diff, I had to move to the 3.5 back end. 7000 rpms in 4th gear brings me to 140 mph. My rev limiter is set to 7200 rpms. Maybe I could go higher (I have heavy duty JWT springs), but I'd rather not subject the engine to that kind of stress. Anyway, to even push it that far you have to slam on the brakes to avoid the bushes!!! 
Remind me to sweep the gravel off down at that end, by the way!
