It ain't just about the numbers!
And that's why you go test the car at a track rental when noone else is on the track. Safety. If it was just about the numbers I wouldn't be renting a track. I'd do the dyno day in Houston and swing my dic..er..dyno sheets around.

I don't recall running my best times at a track rental? It was a regular T&T day? But if it was a track rental it's not a private one-it's open so everyone see's what it's running good or bad.

My new E-force will be ready and willing!!!!!!!!

Congratulations. I'm not trying to run any best times. I'm *testing and *tuning a brand new car. I'm not doing this for anyone's benefit but me. Noone is oiling down the track. Noone's driving street tires through the water box..get the picture? You can spend all the time e.t. chasing you like. I have a real race car I am building to run a heads up class with. This car is for the street and I just don't plan on going to jail tuning it on the street.

Walk softly and carry a big stick.

Are you building a race car or a street car.Is this going to be full blown race car that can barely be driven in 30 mile cruise so it can be a street car?

Nope. I'll probably blow the heads off of this ol 408 before I do anything like your car does.

Full weight pig, A/C blowing, power steering having, radio blaring. Even has the factory 10disc changer and no cage. I'll be roll racing down there too. No problems running the mexican highway. I just don't want to go to jail tuning in Oklahoma City. It's too easy to go to the track and tune.

The racecar I mentioned is a silver Trans Am I'm building for LSx drag radial.

What's a street car? What's a race car? What's an 1,000 plus WHP car that only runs 10s?

Don't you have a built driveline? Thought you had a Tr6060 and C6z diff and slicks and skinnies?

I hope so. Your car definitely flys. It looked like it gets loos in you during your track runs.

I was talking about factory weight plus extra.I've never weight it.Just saying it's not had any weight reductions of ant sort.

But yes it does have 6060 an c6z diff
