For straight line work, a 9" with a spool.............

Street car needs compromising on racing.

Autocross needs compromising on street and straight line.

Straight line needs....................well, you get it.
Gots'd it. The unit that's in there now will almost certainly go boom on the first launch or shortly thereafter, so it'll get swapped. The Turbo II unit *may* be up to the task. There certainly are RX-7s with more power than we'll have, but they don't "hit" like we will.

One specific question about the spool. I was under the impression the spools were really only necessary on very high HP cars; like way beyond 500hp to thw wheels.
