Pat the motor i'm using is left over from my old bracket car it ran 11.6 in a 3650 pound car with ladder bars on the same tire, so i think the motor will do the job but i don't know about the rest.

I'd love to ride along next time someone called you out.

sure you can come long. i had never had any good luck with them on the street and you do not have a 3650 pounds with very little weight you need a very sticky tire to make up for not much weight transfer

Any tool time fans? Remember the episode where Tim is challenged by Bob Villa to race their hot rods? Bob wins, but only because Tim for once in his life doesn't push it all the way down to the floor. When he loses Tim's wife says, I'm sorry hunny. Tim says, hey he didn't win because his car is faster, I backed off because this is a new engine and I didn't want to ruin it. It took me years to build this! Bob bought his rod, he has nothing vested in it but money. If he's stupid enough to ruin it let him!

double post

Haven't seen this thread for awhile.

Like my dad told me growing up. He will NEVER know who is faster untill you race him. He can talk all the crap he wants!! Let him build what you want beacuse there will always be someone faster.
