mate we didnt get our "@r$es handed to us" last time.... power doesnt win drag races torque does. SBs sportivo was, at the time, making masses of power at the wheels more then twiggy, and was about a second off the pace if memory serves. our "worked" cars develop more torque at lower RPM then the stivos. ok granted twiggy was the only guy out there pulling in quick times...but he'll run 14.7s all day long. I'll be running around 15.4 if i get the racing header, sports exhaust, cold air, plugs and leads and T1Rs on the car. The BJ 323's are not as unrespectable as you might think. Ok we're not driving state of the art engines with lift and all the bells and whistles. But we are driving torque monsters due to short rod ratios, and we'll hold our own. If i had to bet money, i'd say we'll get beaten...yes. The CES headers some of the stivos are running now will definantly make them much quicker, and Northy's machine is something I can't wait to see (was the big disappointment of the last drag day for me.....really itching to see it run this time!)....so yes, we'll probably not be the fastest out this time. But I think you would be surprised at just how well we can keep up. 14.8 to 15.4 =.6 if my maths serves me correctly :P But then we'll also be closer to level playing field with the Corolla's running a gutted shell and some with "drag radials" which reportedly don't make a difference :P :P :P Decent clutch hopefully this time for me so no slippage or shifting issues <_<
