1jimmy__d · 07-14-2002, 07:12 AM

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.
