Well my dad and I build streetrods as a hobby and the current project is a 28 Ford prostreeted roadster. It has a built 302, five speed, and 4.11 gears. Well he had it out the other day and we mess around. My 89 LX coupe is bored .030, 10:1 compression, Holley Systemax II package, 30 lb injectors, 70 mm throttle body, 70 mm Mass Air, full length headers, two chamber flowmasters with 2 1/2" tailpipes, centerforce dual friction clutch, and 4.10 gears. Well we mess around and he is behind me. When we get on them I see the front end raise up on the roadster and he sucks up on me like nothing. We both have nitrous but neither was turned on. His car runs good, without nitrous it will almost pull the front wheels off until the huge tires out back break loose. It sorta makes me mad that the engine he has less than $1000 in will beat mine that has tons of dough in it.
