Didnt you used to run spray? If so, how would you compare it WOT to the paxton?Pure fun factor I can see the PD being "more fun" but for the comment about low end torque. Will you ever be below 3.5k when racing?

Im sure e85 helps. Most kits Ive seen with just a 100 shot seem to put down atleast 550wtq some as high as 580-590wtq. I just feel like that would yank a centri car pretty good...just assuming here. What kit were you running?Yes I used to run nitrous and honestly the torque curve is just as flat, i only made 20 more tq on the 125 than I do with the stock pulley on the paxton. The nitrous setup would probably jump half a car but get reeled in hard by the current setup. I made 537tq stock pulley that's higher than what most make but I'm running e85.

Nice numbers. Im trying to decide between spray or paxton. Not gonna spend the dough on a PD. I think the spray is a perfect compromise, torque and cost. But I see you went paxton after spray so its something to consider.It was just a universal wet kit... Picked up 130whp and 190tq on a 125 shot. Numbers on the shot were 551hp 563tq.

Do you have the bottle open everytime you leave the house?
I don't understand why people act like N/A cars are more impressive. What's more impressive about having twice the money in a build and making less HP?
I agree 100%, especially when people drool to see what's in the picture below.
Even a FI setup that makes 600rwhp on the dyno will have a VERY hard time hanging with a 500rwhp NA combo in the real world. I've seen and done this numerous times. NA is set on kill 100% of the time!!
FI is cool, and a LOT easier way for most people to make HP, but there is nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, like a big horsepower NA setup.

There are more and more FI coyote's running around. Who can blame them? its just to easy to make 600-650whp with under $6K invested. That said, I agree with you that a properly set up N/A build would run with a FI car and would take WAY more people by surprise. The problem is even if a 5xxwhp NA car can beat a 600whp FI car, all the FI car has to do is change pulleys/boost levels and walla, instant 50-150more whp. That said I am still debating on doing cams and full exhaust vs a blower this summer. Something is just fun about being NA. Also, the first thing people who want to race ask is if I'm FI, when I say no then they are a lot more interested in doing some runs. Seems like as soon as you tell someone you have a blown Coyote they get scared, at least around here.
I would still love to see a 13:1 comp, bored and sleeved(318+ci), ported heads, custom big cams, full bolton, and E85 NA coyote motor. I would not be suprised if a build like that could hit 600whp NA. That would likely be over a 2hp per CI motor that would be able to drive on the street with little issue.
by the way.. guys we can get those sticky Nittos here in Europe. Most street/drag radials you have there are not available here.
I was just recently exploring some usual street brands. Michelins and stuff. Any general consensus on what is the most sticky good quality street tire among the Hankooks, Michelins, Pirellis etc.?
I am waiting for my Roush TVS to be delivered. I will install it in my 3.73 MANUAL GT, with 82mm and 79mm as option. Both tuned by VMP. I guess my manual 3.73 will have some serious grip issues.
I invested a lot of money on the rear axle. I have the complete SVT 3.73 axle assebly.-. CHE reloc lower brackets, UPR Billet Alu LCA, Steeda Competition adjustable UCA. Now all i need is grip!
Somebody shoot me if I ever spend 6 grand and I'm still NA.......:bash:
