man you know this, no matter how fast you are there is someone faster. -should be a law of physics.
only thing left for you is some type of induction or NAWZ.
i recommend a 50-100shot......but then its bad if you get caught with it (well then agian getting caught racing these days is scary period).....

Without knowing his mods, you can't really compare. I know exactly how quick your car should be, we make very similar power! There's no shame in losing a race, I have lost to a lot of cars (on the track of course). Have you had the car tuned again and running to it's potential?

A solid HCI car should walk a couple of cars on you at your power level. If he had more cubes, or a power adder it isn't really that bad that you lost.

One thing that I have learned is being able to get the power to the ground well, and effieciently is as important as power.

Get rid of those thumpers!

Edit: In all seriousness...I have a Zex wet shot I haven't even touched on my car. Looking to get a better tune on N/A and on a 125 shot tune....should be fun

yeah i know what you mean. i just haven't ran anyone since i put the heads and cam on and there's not really a lot of fox's around here anymore, let alone built ones. I was just expecting to spank him, it caught me off guard when he spanked me! hahaha. nah i haven't had the chance (or money) to take it back to the dyno since i've swapped stuff around. i plan on it soon though.

yeah, it seems i need more suspension stuff. the control arms and new shocks/struts/springs helped a LOT coming from the original factory stuff, but she still burns through the first two gears.

haha these thumpers REALLY woke the car up! but yeah i agree, when money comes back around, i think it's time to upgrade to some aftermarket aluminums. i've been really thinking about getting a 100 or 150 shot lately too and getting a flip chip for an n/a and nitrous tune. let me know how it runs!

REVENGE WILL BE MINE!!!!!!!!!
