Give me a set of slicks, and a 100 shot of N20, and I'll show you 13's with my whopping ~140 ft/lbs of torque.....
Once again, if torque is the deciding factor here, why don't we all just buy caterpiller graders and get 9's out of em....
that's funny... i don't remember anyone talking about spraying a motor, i thought we were talking about turbos... just so you know, a 100 shot of n2o is gonna give you some torque as well.... :rolleyes:
first off, our 60' and 330' times are pathetic, WE NEED MORE TORQUE. the car does not have enough torque to get up off the line fast enough to break into the 13s without some serious high end power... 400hp.... which i still say is pathetic if it takes 400hp at the crank to get a car that weights just over 3000lbs to touch the 13s. the car needs more torque all across the band, but i say no one short of 400hp will be consistantly hitting 13s without 400hp, unless they have a nice amount of low end torque. look at david z's car. he has TONS of torque, and i believe he is one of the only people on this board to actually see 13s at the track.
and that statement about catapillers, just goes with the overall atitude of this board, ignorant and childish.
i never relized how childish most of the people on this board are until i started checking out the f150/svtperformance boards.... people are so much more helpful and mature. they don't have this "if you don't agree with me i am going to flame you make useless childish commements until you do agree with me" instead they provide facts and technical data to help you understand where they are coming from.
just my two cents...
