oh man, i thought it was .1 every 10 horsepower! I hope I dont just deop three tenths! oh well, as long as I can beat my friends Z, im fine!

Do people in general recommend rebuilding their motors (cheaper/more power) or buying a new one all together (maybe a 302 GT 40 (320 horses)? Just curious for next year. Thanks!

If I had the money, i'd rather buy a new engine.

BTW, good luck with the NOS bro. Just don't go kill yourself to beat some punk *** ricer...do that **** on the track. There are no timeslips at stoplights :)

Dont worry, as long as you have plenty of fuel and your timing properly retardeed you can run the nitrous all the time w/ no worries. You'd be fine w/ a 125shot as well.

i disagree with the 25hp=1 tenth, i am spraying mine a 125 shot and i dropped over a full second, for the most part 10hp=1 tenth. you just have to figure the traction issue.

ill find out this friday! i hope to be 13.5! Thats if my car doesnt over heat- Im trying to figure out the problem now. I think I need a new radiator. any idea how much that would be if i brought it to a shop???

Go get a 3 row radiator at pepboys for 149bux. Its easy as hell to change. 2 hoses and 2 bolts.
