So all that to pick up 3-4 tenths and 3-4mph? Hardly seems worth it. And your spinning the blower even faster? Hmmmmm.....that's alot more $$$ for not much gain.

I highly agree!

Does it have a roll cage? At what point do they ask you to leave because you don't have one?

That depends on the track. if they are cert by NHRA then yes. hell after 13.99 you need a helmet and all these cars are faster then that.

but I know of at least one that will let you run whatever. but they also have a lot of cars blow up on the line.

Look at the slips, the 60' is weak because they are running a DR and not a slick or soft sidewall DOT tire. The red car will run 10.30 @ the posted mph and the yellow may squeek a 9 with its posted mph. Your not going to see huge gains in a boosted app by heads and cam but they managed about 55 rwhp on the yellow one Im guessing.

I the track is NHRA then are standard rules. 13.99 helmet, 13.00 drivshaft hoop, 11.99 or 11.49 steel belhousing (manual) 9.99 auto, 10.99 rollcage, 150mph chute, etc. I think slicks vs street tires have different rules on c-clips and things like that.

If you local track has a website then you can proablaby look it up.


I can't rember them all.
