Do a dig setup… You see what BigHands does right? From a roll and a dig? Having a solid ass end in a car with the right gears will win you races… Just think if your buddy Justin had a rear end in that car with some suspension… it would be a fucking freak out of the hole… ---

lol… but if you look at it the way I told you to, DIG would be the best setup. You don’t have to run rediculous gears… that are only good for the gayth… you can run a decent gear that will see 150mph… and still run low 6s in the 8th. Make sure you have some room for some tire… a solid rear end… and rolls will be to your advantage as well… ---

… if it has the ability to be deadly from a dig… it will be even more deadly from a rolllll. i’m not sure if you guys understand or not. A well tuned drag race setup is more than capable of ripping shit up from a roll. ---

no matter what you do build it so you can drive it … don’t have a car that makes gobs of HP at the sacrafice of low end TQ … that just ruins drivability … do all around sweetness … good looks fast and enough HP _AND_} TQ ---

> [@Nikuk](#): > > no offense, but Choda’s car tops out @ 130… not a good dig / roll car IMO. As you can se I reference Big Hands… he traps 140+… and is a 9 sec car… not an 11 second car… that traps 120+, and tops out @ 130… thats no race car. If you can’t roll @ 45… and by 130 know who won… then your too damn close anyways. Start at a slower speed… ---

Go both…it’s not that difficult to do. Get enough power to run lower (numerically) gears and have the best of both worlds. There are a few ‘03 Cobras in my old hometown (Minneapolis, MN)…both solid 10 second cars @ 130ish running stock gearing (3.55). One of those Cobras recently went to a single turbo setup and first pass out went 10.0 @ 140…60’ was a 1.47 on Nittos. I’d think both those would hold up pretty well on the highway. ---
