Are you running a 2step/wot box? I didn't see it mentioned but damn if your not...there isn't any telling how much it would save you.

Nope, never messed with one. I just dump the clutch and jump on the brake to do my burnout and I take off from the line just like I take off from a traffic light. :lol:

I think you would really benefit from one. It would really shave some from no lift shifting. Also being able to load the car on the line helps lol

Brain hope you don't have a meal or beer on the line with the GT500 guy based on the outcome. lol Is it one shot or best 2 out of 3, 3 out of 5 or what?

With the cube difference still need to call you the underdog and I am almost always for the underdog. Not sure if you follow hockey or not but I am a Leaf fan, it was 1967 when they won their last cup!

I think Brian has the advantage at the line.

I can see it already, Skwerl gets the jump on him, but with the power behind the GT500, I can see him easily reeling Skwerl in.

But I am still rooting for SKWERL!!!!!

Brian,

My car dynos around 690. It did right at 700 once (attached). It's slow but so am I (plus, sadly, a mongo lack of seat time in the past year).

With your new setup I may have 30 rwhp on you. I also have +300 pounds on you and 75 more than it did when it ran its best time. Should be fun.

See if this sounds fair........

You win and I hire you to do that work at the house.

I win and you do the work at the house. At no charge. :highfive:

Best 2 out of 3, as agreed, correct?

Manana-

Don't be late on the tree

Good luck

:naughty1:

'Sup man?

Brian's around here enough that he knows what makes power. The whopper is the Boss. 830+ :naughty1:

That said, I've never drag raced it. Don't know how it would do. Justin tracks it.

I'll be bringing the 7 year old heifer.

You're the one that will be seeing trees. The ones you're removing from my yard for free! :naughty1:

Oh...and bring some sunglasses. My tail lights are kinda bright.

Didn't put that much thought into it, I just challenged BJ heads up for $100. I'm not sure where all this other stuff came from about tree cutting and so forth. I haven't even seen the job yet.
