You need a supercharger for that?!

I beat one with headers and someone with 50x the experience as me several times on the 1/8 mile strip.. I chose cubes, but I would imagine your blower will get the job done too Having a power advantage (even if it's 4500rpm and up) always helps, besides, you don't granny shift when you're racin!!

When you are as old as dirt like me, you need all the help you can get. How about "great grandpa shifting" lol.

I think the Z has a better chance to put it to the ground all things equal, I put my money on the Z no matter how many HP the coupe has.

EDIT - Special Ed for vettedave, things equal like suspension is stock, no slicks... if you still can't figure out what a level playing field is... wanna race?
You make no since dude. This is a performance section and performance means your setup to apply the power produced to the ground. As far as us racing,if your ever in the area we could always meet up at Milan dragway...it's run what you brung though...that's what I consider a level playing field. wanna race?

I understood a lot of the road course people were taking them out and running N/A instead.

What was their reasoning? Maybe to much power to soon in the corners?
