Stronger drivetrain and one hell of a diet to run 12s. The power is there.
I have seen stripped out Hondas with under 400 Hp run 10s. It can be done with time, patience, and money. But we knew this already.
Go JOSH!:laugh:

The build on my car was simply more power is not always faster/quicker...
My 6psi dyno was right at 240whp and the car would consistently go 13.8x's at 103mph...
My 8psi runs were more along the lines of an 8psi spike and settling to a 6-6.5psi hold and those runs netted me that nearly 108 mph with a 13.5x. I was quite happy to not break anything and then left the track never to go back with the tour...
My setup did include DSS stage 2 axles and BFG 225/45/17 drag radials.
These runs were made nearly fours years ago and still hold as some of the quicker in Tour history, so I guess you could say that most of us haved moved on to more appropriate platforms...Then again I still have trouble using my current mph to net me the ET that it "could"!

I've got an even better idea... If you want a drag car don't get something fwd period. :idea:

That's prolly because you were granny shifting, not double-clutching like you should...:nonono: Such noobs. When will you learn to drive your accelerating cars like decellerating tractor-trailers? I think your NAWZZ also endangered your manifold and fried your piston rings. Pshhhh. You should race my charger which can do monster wheelstands with no traction.
's intense...
