i done test and tune on the street for years...get a stop watch and run 0-80 and 0-100. you make changes, go do three runs and you know if your faster or slower.

I normally do my testing on the street too, but I count 1 - one thousand, 2 one thousand and so on.
I guess everyone has there own timing system.

Not even worth the typing. He obviously cares little about scientific data, he seems more interested in SOTP. I just hope I'm not in the way when he's doing one of his 100mph blasts on some deer infested cold street on cold tires. Just let it go.

Posting about street racing is enough to get a post banned for a week or two.
I will refrain further comment

Actually if you read the words used, No mention of street racing, just disobeying any and all laws pertaining to speed limits. It is safe to say that there are no speed limits in the USA of 100mph.

The post is more about breaking the law with speeding.

Now I feel like a GEEK with a pocket saver by writing this. Oh yeah, Don't forget the glasses.
