    You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

    i dunno... i added 1 7/8 to my car and dropped from a 13.48 to a 13.12... and trapped from a 102 to a 106mph.. i dont think 1 3/4 would have netted me any more

    Thats great, however with Dayton, Ohio being GTO capital of the East, at I as well as 2 other 1 7/8's have proved over and over on different dyno's that we put out less RWHP than the guys who are running 1 3/4's...that is until we showed a cam car making more with 1 7/8's.

    Debate as you will, but we have our proof.

    Let's not turn this thread into a 1 7/8 vs 1 3/4 debate. I didn't make any excuses.

    Now onto the butt-o-meter test. I finally got to run my car somewhat hard this morning and it feels faster. Second and third gear feels like they pulls stronger. I didn't have enough room to run into fourth. Regardless of what is posted on the sheet I'm happy with my car. Now I'm saving for some sort of power adder that will stop the harassment of some unnamed red G8 driver....cough...Charlie....cough....
