yeah i understand that as i'm in the same boat but why spend so much on an engine like 10 grand+ on an engine when you're going to use it as your daily ? or even have it registered in the first place ?
especially when you can just upgrade cam extractors intake and fuel and a better electrical system on the cheap and still go nearly as fast there is only 3 seconds difference between a auto falcon turboed and on nos and a slightly worked NA engine over the 400m stretch. |

Tissues for when someone puts their foot down in a 700HP car or tissues for the guy who realises that it's going to cost money to build a 700HP car. Either way, tissues are a must!

maso, it only takes 600 hp and all wheel drive to pull 9 seconds in 400 metres, yet it takes 5000+hp to get down to 5 seconds in a top fueler, not to mention a 600hp car moves over the ground and you see it take off and gain speed, that 5000+hp car thats only gained 4seconds takes off so fast it feels as if its whats making the world go round!! not to mention you hardly see it take off before its at the end of the track, its made me feel the biggest WTF when i first watched one lol, i didnt know what had happend, anyway the moral of the story is 3 seconds is alot in motorsport

I love how the most unrealistic threads on this site are the most popular, while the ones with actual technical merit (and require comments with actual technical insight) get ignored.
