Me too but I think 600-650rwhp would be just fine and is a lot move power than anything I have now. The Chevelle only put down 461rwhp on the engine.

Thats good, 460 is gay but 461 is bad ass. Thats the cut off

Why dont you fight professionally if youre all about it? MMA or something.

No money in professional fighting, at least not for a very very long time. Besides, It's not just the fighting I enjoy, it's the martial arts as a whole. I've done amateur fights and didn't enjoy it much. Mostly they want you to fight as many times in a night as it takes until you lose or they're happy.

Doesn't mean I can't put forth as much effort into it as if it was my livelihood. That's what martial arts is all about. I made my profession in the exact area I wanted.

No you didn't. You found a video where someone prepped their home street just as the would the track. Hardly a cry from doing a wheelie at a street light, Dominic.

The blue car and the gray car are both perfect examples of this, my diesel, well that was my lesson.

And not everyone can afford to build a car with all the right pieces at once: me. Like I keep saying, plans to upgrade to the 12 bolt, axle hoops, and now 13.5" Z51 brakes sitting in my garage thanks to Carlos... then my car will be able to make use of the power ;)

I was just stating what the dyno sheet said which was 461rwhp and 462rwtq.

Like Guy said, launching on a prepped street isn't the same as launching on a normal street. Even with my slicks on if I floor the Chevelle from a stop on the street it will spin the tires and that without the transbrake or N2O. At the track the car pulls the front tire about an inch or two.

My car is so powerful I can't register it. Asphalt tears below it, so the DOT restricted me.

My penis is subsequently just as large. Imagine that.

And i'm just saying I work the other way around. Start with suspension, brakes, safety, then move to the motor. You subsequently have a safer car and is plenty fun till the power goes in.
