I still think I can get him there as it sits, and he would need a full cage anyway with what it would MPH and ET.

Great race guys real close,have seen this supercharge/nitrious drama played out couple times before bout 10 years ago was big rivalry between guys from westchester county and Rockland county guy w/66 chevelle big blockroots 6.71 2 hollys vs 70 buick gran sport lotta trash talk lots $$ bet and the race played out the same as this race the supercharge car had small lead early and the nitrious car drove around him for the win........must have seen my "street car" ...his "race car"... a hundred times in this thread so just what makes one a street car or race car,sorry but trailering does not make it a race car ,a trailer queen maybe.do street cars have roll cages..well no but race cars are required to have 'em,do race cars have full exhaust systems no but street cars do.... can you drive a race car in stop and go traffic any time well maybe do race cars have stock heads and bottom ends... yup...are race cars registered and inspected to drive on public roads... well no.. ok big shot what constitutes a race car...IMHO a race car is a purpose built car that does one thing.. RACE.with no consideration for anything else if you can legally drive your car on the street and perform all the functions of a daily driver well then it is def a street car....so BOTH cars are street cars one just has a big inch motor w/spray the other a 15 to 20 lbs boost supercharger both are hard on the engine half the power made by s/c is eaten up just to power the s/c.N2O is like an uncontrollable beast one tiny slipup and kaboom 'nuff said

9.99 yes but 9.7s (he said that is what he's lookin' to do) though?
I would think he would need to make at least some changes to get there from the 10.4 he's at now, no?
Some great air alone should get him to 10.2s (at over 140mph) even a 10.1x so he is close.
