Since when does power equal fast laps.......!

Ben,

Couldn't agree with you more, up until Xmas I was running with about 280 rwhp which is well short of even the most basic LS engine. That 280 was good enough for a 1:08.0 @ the Nats on Friday practice last year. All about getting drive out of the corners, low down torque. Doesn't matter if it's got 500 Hp & no low down torque then it will underperform. Drags are a different matter totally. I had a vu SS ute that made 298 rwhp but had nothing under 4000 rpm. No drive out of corners unless you came out @ 4000 rpm.
Love the banter boys!
