OK so let me get this straight A zetec is running a 14.8 with a 75 shot right??? so it puts him right about about what 210, 215????? But Demon is running 14.8's iirc and i know hes got alot more than that?? and im running like a 15.6and i have like 205ish or soo with my weak mods. So what im trying to get at is i don't understand how we have approx the same power why is he running those times???????

your sig is confusing 
My OFF the bottle time of 16.4 was a bad time (for what ever reason). I didn't even realize I put a 2.2 60' time. It was never a 2.2, always 2.4's ON and OFF thebottle. I finally got my ON the bottle 60' time down in the high 2.2's

Most likely a better track and more low end torque (along with a flatter power curve on the juice). I know KCIR sucks very much badly... isn't that where you run Demon?

I'd also have to say WEIGHT!!!! The old Weight / Power ratio has a lot to do with it. PIR isn't that great, it is really bumpy off the line therefore causing wheel hop. But if you're a decent drag racer (obviously I'm not) you can get past that.

Yeah that is where Demon runs and the track is horrible. The track literally has potholes and you have to avoid them so no one gets hurt. Scary huh?

But what exactly is the weight difference between an iron Zetec and an aluminum Duratec? Anybody know?

That's just it. The engines are fairly close in weight. Even at the far range of possible weight difference you are talking maybe ~100lbs for a stripped down Zetec compared to a more well appointed Duratec.
That's .1 seconds or so at the track. (not even taking into account the fact the Duratec makes more power & has a much better powerband!)
I would sure love to see video considering this small nitrous shot took off well over 2 seconds. (which is BS just considering the physics involved in that!)

Somebody is not very happy with a Zetec running with the Duratecs.

-1999-
Listed SVT Curb Weight: 3129
Listed MTX Zetec Curb Weight: 2603
Weight Difference: 526 lbs.
Not saying the weight difference justifies any times, but with all the extras the SVT has it is quite a bit heavier, regardless of slight engine differences.

Those weights are inaccurate.. SVT is about 3040 lbs with sunroof. Most zetec weights I,ve seen printed are about 2850 llbs or so, mostly due to less options (smaller wheels, brakes, radiator, no power seats, sunroof, body kit) The zetec motor weights within about 60 lbs of Duratec so a 500 lb weight difference is not going to happen stock. Max maybe 200 lbs, 250 tops. Congrats on your times..I am not doubting them but I do think the degree of improvement suggests that your "shot" is closer to 100 than 75...either way, big bang for buck.
