Come on dude---it runs that fast everytime I use the "Desktop Dyno"--I am going to tweek the camspecs just a little bit more---there we go--just went a 7.60.

You still coming down in June so we can drive back up north? I'll take you for a spin in the drag car---Fly in on Friday evening, stay here or bring the shifterless gokart you have and make the trip with us--

Doug --

If I reply to this thread anymore - TODD is going to come up here and kill me (if he doesn't rust up like the Tin Man).

I am certainly not big on the european cars...... this might qualify. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BwIniaHIUE I know you could do it, if you had the money it is possible. My brother has a Outlaw 10.5 car that has been as quick as 4.37 and as fast as 177. with turbo setups that are available I think you could do this with a C5/C6 vette. Go ahead fire away! Shawn

Greg, after he runs his car at the Super Chevy event, let's see how it et's--it will most likely warrant bringing this up all over again. Plus, you know how shy he is--

Wrote him the other day -- after he completely FAILED to support me on the "9's" vs my wanting to be more clear and calling it a "nine nineties".... and told him -- I'd better not catch him calling his new motor "650 hp" IF it ONLY made 648.7 !!

It's hard to show your sense of humor in these posts -- but I do take all of this "discussion" in stride and with fun intentions...

It only works that way with ET's. You round down with ET's and round up with horse power numbers.

Ok, so we round up on HP, down on ET's .......what do we do with lap times? I say round down to the nearest second. Forget hundredths, I am talking seconds.
