Default Place your bets...

Me vs 02 vette with 125 shot. I made 434 hp and 417 torque on blower and 506 hp and 499 torque ona 75 shot. The vette made 415 hp and 562 torque on the gas. I'm running him next Friday night at Mobile dragway. I'm running him on blower only first then with the gas. He's on street tires and I'm on Hoosier drag radials. What do you guys think? I'll post a vid of it as well next Saturday.

That's what I'm hoping for. The track we go to is very very sticky and he's planning to roll out a few feet and then spray it. If he does that and it hooks, his torque and weight advantage may cause him to come on by me. I don't know.

On blower only if you both hook he has a shot...otherwise it's going to be all you the entire time.

I think you'll take the vette from a dig or low roll due to your traction advantage. I think he'll be faster from a higher roll where traction is less of an issue.

Ok, my car is still down but the vette made a couple of passes yesterday. He ran a 7.69 on the first pass. He waited until he rolled out pretty far before he sprayed it. The second pass he tried to spray it off the line and spun really really bad. He ran a 7.51 at 96.6 mph with a 1.71 short time. The last time I ran my car it ran a 7.59 at 97.6 mph with a 1.81 short time. So I figure this will be a drivers race for sure this Friday.

was this run on or off the juice for you? he was cutting a 1.7 60 ft on stock tire or a drag radial. If you can out launch him you might be able to hold him off
