Ok, i have seen guys on this site (and the corral) who have minimal combos, but are putting down amazing times and MPH. Some guys are running P-heads and intake (exhasut, t-body, etc etc), no cam and a 302 and getting like mid-high 12s.
Why is it that some peoples combos are running so amazing? I know that i run on top of a mountain, but that cant make up too much time.... can it?

From what i've read and heard, elevation makes a HUGE difference. Also some people just have factory freaks. Some have done tons of weight reduction, etc etc. Lots of factors like that...weight, driver, weather, elevation, maybe they forgot to list something etc. Hope when i get to go to the track mine are surprising heh.

Some of it can likely be some are fact some are fiction and many of them in somewhere in between. sometimes I wonder that too some have way less hp but are faster, some bigger hp are slower than others or two that hp are same times are way off or two that hp is way different but times are the same.? I don't really know good driver would make a big difference for sure.
