Default Hi Scott

I used to live in Scottsdale and owned Kawasaki of Phoenix on Indian School.

Your right about the MT ET Streets. They hook very well. My car runs about the way it should with its power to weight ratio. My original point on this thread was very simple. IMO, its the cars performance that counts. So many people talk about the size and horsepower of the motors they have or are planning to put into their Cobras but when they take them to the track they don't do nearly as well as they should. My point was its the ability to put the power to the ground that counts IF your interested in performance. Many folks just want to drive and enjoy their cars and thats great to.

In any case thanks for the reply. I'm going to try and get this car down to the 1.30's 60' and have a couple of ideas on using my dry sump pump to pull a vacuum in my crankcase (block the vents)
to get another 20 HP and, hopefully, get it down to the 10.5's. As you know it gets harder and harder to get those last few "tenths". Then I might throw a 150 horse shot of nitrous on it to see if I can go 9's and then pull it off again. The fun part of that is the motor I have can easily handle the power. There are guys running twin turbo setups on this motor pulling over 1000HP so I shouldn't be anywhere near its limits. (HOPEFULLY)

I really need to work on the Road Racing and Auto cross though as I'm WAY worse in those departments.

Regards,
