    Shorties or Longtubes?

    i recently saw a dyno sheet that only showed like a 8 hp difference between shorties and long tube on a blower car that was nearly 500 RWHP, it seems like they make more power over the whole rpm range but not a whole lot more peak HP, if you need to worry about smog then technically there are no...

    turbo gsr civic vs nitrous mustang??

    that gives me some hope, cause i doubt his civic is as bad ass as your integra sounds! and if that would run mid 13's on the street, i could probably run a low 13 if i hit everything right on the street and i get the hit, i'll be running race gas if i run him also, cause i got a can of it here...

    turbo gsr civic vs nitrous mustang??

    yeah, i'm sure his car is faster on paper or maybe at the track, i just remember that in Sport compact car awhile back they had like a 500 Hp civic with everything that would only run a 13.1 on street tires and really inconsistent cause it was like wheelspin in every gear for the whole quarter...

    fog light bracket removal question ??

    i think i'll take it off and then maybe reinforce the area with a long piece of thin aluminum angle and screw through thebottom of the bumper into it, i guess i could even just put a piece of wood trim and fiberglass it in too to keep it light, i'll let everyone know if when i take it off i have...

    street tire traction question

    i'm not really concerned with looks, the car is already kind of ugly :D was just wondering if either would make a noticable difference in traction, but it seems like they are pretty much the same with maybe the edge going to the 17X9's so i guess i'll put on the cobras!

    street tire traction question

    so this holds true even for non slick street tires? i'm asking because it seems like dudes on 225/60 15's pull sub 2 second 60 foot times occasionally but i always hear that a wider tire will give better traction?! what 60 foot times have you put down on street tires and what size were they?

    street tire traction question

    TRUE STREET TIRES, which one will hook up better, 17 inch 245/45 or a 15 inch 235/60, does the increased sidewall of the 15 inch tire overcome the width advantage of the 17 inch tire? i'm talking comparable true street tires, no DR's, at the strip, maybe some of your 60ft times on street...
