what is the real benefit of building a 9/10 second car? It seems that most of the races are won by the stupid ass negotiating. Build something that you can all of a sudden make faster, ie. turbo and wastegate like 1320 said.
You would need to have something that looks descent. I don’t think they would let a pieced together 240 that is 3 different colors or all rusty be on the show.
short shifting a few hundred rpm early will give similar effects as having the boost turned down.
also, try to run a sneaky pete setup completely hidden so they don’t see it. they can ask to un hook the main setup, but will never see the hidden nitrous.
what about tranny, th350/400 or 4l60?
biggst thing is keep shit reliable and easy to fix so if it were to break. murphys law.
and all i ask is let me negotiate. im deffinitely bringing out the “AND THE JUMP” clause lol.

any real racer can sandbag… dont need to lower boost or etc to sandbag
exactly, it is called lift the throttle and only win by a little bit.
they have people down track watching which will report if/when you let up. short shift the gears to slow the car downand noone will ever no.

nice thought but auto shifts itself. backing off throttle would be the method for autos. and just pace the person next to you then open it up when needed
real race cars with autos are shifted manually
if i get the loan to fix the stang this week or beginning of next week you guys can have the k member out of the cobra.
