I have a question for you! Why do people spend thousands $5000$ on a super charger when they only lower their 1/4 times by like 2seconds? Is it really worth it?

[asdf1234]

Yes.

[BLLDOGG]

no

that will generally happen to people who spend all of their time/money trying to over power a slow car instead of takign care of teh chassis where et's are made.
little g is my friend and therefore my favorite example. most of his mods have more to do with hooking teh car and taking advantage of the power it has instead of huge hp mods.
the result is a mid 14second time slip with room to grow as power is added.

tim </font>[/QUOTE]Agreed, its about adressing the needs of your car, not jsut throwing money at your car.

Look at my car and the money spent on my mods.

2 seconds = approx. 20 car lengths
"Is it worth it?"


YES

[slow6]

i'd rather have a tunable turbo for cheap
actually i'd rather have a very light car.
takes alot of power to get our heavys running good

[Camaro Dom]

speaking of turbos... theres a turbo kit available for 3grand and a super kit available for 4grand... i dont live on the track so variable PSI would be really useful, but my question is if i go the turbo route, have i sold out to the ricers?

ONLY 2 sec.....lol....have you ever raced on a track before, 2 sec is a whole lot of rear view mirror action

:rolleyes: open up a camaro magazine, and laugh at all the 8 sec cars that are turbocharged and call them ricers.....

turbos started life as a desiel thing so the ricers sold out to detroit [img]graemlins/twak.gif[/img]
