Looks good tho scott... gimme a ride. |
Yeah, you need a conservative tune on a road race car. A drag car's only gotta run between 10 and 15 seconds at a time... mine's gotta last 30 minutes per session, up and down through the gear box, deal with heat soak, latteral g's tossing the oil around in the block, etc.
The motor gets a pretty good workout (though the shock on the drivetrain is a lot less than drag cars see), and an extra 10 to 20 hp isn't going to make a huge difference in my lap times at my skill level. Hell, at my skill level I could have 50 more hp and it probably wouldn't help my times... the car is already faster than my ego... by a lot.
And I'll be giving rides at the 1st meet that the road isn't covered in ice, and I've got the car there w/ proper registration. I still haven't had time to get it smogged!
