I found out that with wheel hop and no traction all the money i spent on my engine (although still on a budget) was basically spun and hopped away.
I guess you'll see how your traction situation is. I decided to go the suspension/stiffening chassis route. You guys both have similar stuff that i do so i guess it'll be interesting to compare your horsepower with my traction after you hit the track

"Traction should be a given, I dont know why you would spend that much cash for HP that you will just spin away."

Boy did i learn that quickly, nothing makes me angrier than being psyched to go to the track only to have inconsistant runs from traction problems!
