I've raced at Maple Grove, Cecil County, Atco, Beaver, Bristol, and a couple more.

I race Pro generally and hit 155 top end every run. Sit there and watch super... Every dragster and most door cars in that class are well over 150 and only a handful pull the chute, and that's only because they opt to. That IS NHRA.

So you never raced at a NHRA SC or NOPI event then? I am just telling you what was told to us before each event at the drivers meeting and what I have seen happen durining elimnations if the chute was not pulled. I have not race a domestics since the early 90's so I don't know what rules your events have.

And isn't it your dad or brother that runs the 'PRO' car? I though that car was a bracket / index car not a 'PRO' car.

Yea dude, Pro is the name of a bracket class I race in along with my brother and dad. I wasn't aware the OP was planning on racing NHRA SP and Nopi events.

There is no more NHRA or NOPI SC but that is where I was talking about for the rule of pulling it after 150. Although the other SC events go off of the NHRA SC rules so the rule still stands if he were to go that fast he would need the chute and also would need to pull it.

BigWhiteTodd · 01-21-2009, 04:22 PM

soo 150mph is around a 9 sec run im not trying to go that fast i think i will stay in the 11 or 10 sec range, because 11 sec is faster then alot of cars and i can still drive it 10 is pushing it but its a hell of a ride.

K20EF9 · 01-21-2009, 04:47 PM

Have you ever driven a 10-11 second FWD Turbo Honda..? My boys integra is crazy at the end of the track on slacks, it's just dancing all over the place at 130mph.

dragonfly2k3 · 01-21-2009, 06:21 PM

This thread is useless. Until you decide what you want out of the car, and learn how to use punctuation, nobody can help you. In the last 4 pages you have gone back and forth between 600hp, 400hp, 500hp, and 11sec several times, make up your mind before you ask for help. If you are just asking how to make power theres a few easy rules, built motor, big turbo, big cams, big boost, and NO SHORTCUTS!

Keeper1343 · 01-21-2009, 07:09 PM

thank you for saying that... There are a tons of ways to make power as well. Just so you know, 600 hp is gonna be around mid to high 10's

BigWhiteTodd · 01-21-2009, 09:05 PM

thanks but if you dont like my thread gtfo its that simple haha

rich33389 · 01-21-2009, 09:33 PM

If you havent even run 13's yet I wouldnt even begin to think about 10's!

If you have to ask how to run tens or make 600 hp then I doubt that your gonna do it, it takes ALOT of time, fabrication, MONEY, driving skills, MONEY, and TIME.

Keeper1343 · 01-21-2009, 10:18 PM

everyone has givin you good info... you can't make up your mind on anything. You don't know if you want to run 10's,11's, or 12's. you don't know if you want 600,500, or 450 HP. You dont know if your gonna be driving it on the street or just on the track. You need to not get so upset when people are trying to help you but your not helping us help you. Yuo can't change your mind 1000 times and think your not gonna get people aggrivated who are obviously taking time to help you reach your goal. So if you want to have an attitude then fine... Go on honda-tech and see what kind of responses you get.
