I will pick up where we left off.
First of all: Be careful what you say. Everything that I have said on this forum has been true or has come true. I said the injectors were too small: They went to 440cc injectors: I said that running 90+psi was too much: They went to a programmable ecu with near factory fuel pressure. I may have gone overboard on my delivery but either way my data is correct. NOW, as far as quatermile testing goes....If you think it does not matter than you are a fool. Quarter mile trap speeds are a direct correlation to power to weight. You may have varying et's based on 60ft times but if the 60's are close and the traps are 5-7 off you have a big difference in performance. Imagine two cars exiting a corner at the same speed but one will have 7mph faster speed down the straight....that gets you to the next turn first. Oh and by the way.... the dyno can be fooled the track cannot. The fact is this if you do not have quarter mile testing your data is not complete.
I think that everyone here has made a good point or two on either side of the conversation. I also think that those of us who are more involved read in to some comments a little more than the rest of you.
That’s the great thing about a public forum. IF you choose to use it to your advantage be prepared to have it turn on you.
I believe that this has been the best thread yet....why..... Because it will bring a conclusion. Every time these "Nasty" conversations happen something good comes out of it for the community...more of us get involved and everyone pushes harder to be better. I can imagine that mark is sitting in his office right now saying.."Ill show those MutherF**kers". And that is exactly what makes his product better.
