[QUOTE="BillyGman, post: 2463856, member: 19962"] Yeah Chuck, but how many of your runs do you turn a 13.1 second ET? Maybe half of them? You can be well into the 13's on just about every single run with headers, and upgraded exhaust, 4.10 gears, & a 3,000 RPM stall speed with a Stallion Torque converter, and also w/out drag radials. I fully agree and understand what you guys are saying about your car still being two tons of fun on the street w/out drag radials since you've supercharged them. After all, on the street, if you get into a race on an empty wide open highway begining at 40, 50, or 60 MPH, then you can just punch it all at once, and not have to worry about traction loss on the dry pavement with the stock radials, and come out on top. But on the dragstrip races aren't started at 60 MPH, but from a standstill. That's why I specifically stated that I was talking about ET's at the dragstrip. No offense, but it must be aggrivating when you know that you can turn an ET well into the 12 second bracket with your cars, but a turbocharged four cylinder Honda racing in the other lane at the track crosses the finish line first with a mid 13's run because your car wouldn't hook up, and you turned a pathetic 2.1 second 60' time that stock Marauders turn with merely 240 RWHP. :poke: After that happens, then here come the excuses like...."Oh well if I hooked up I would've beat him". And the ricer walks away telling his buddy that he runs faster than a supercharged Marauder did at the track. (I can't help it, but I'm competitve like that). Yeah, yeah, you can come back and say that you're not there to out-do anyone else, but deep down inside that scenario would bug you.
