I don’t think anyone said they “don’t work” but I’m of the opinion that if you’re gonna do anything at all, you go balls out, none of this half-ass stuff. Good times, esp the trap & on the GTO suspension/“rear end,” but can’t u run very close to that on a cam and a shot (i.e. cougarspeed) ? ---

You wouldn’t get a trap speed like that , but yeah you can cut an ET like that with a good size cam and a good amount of nitrous and you would need a better tire than what this gto is running , not too mention , it would be very hard with a 6 speed as well which is what this gto has . It’s all based on what goals you have with your own car I guess . We made 648 rwhp with this car , and it isn’t done yet , more things are already being discussed for next year . ---

nice times. while I dont think its half assed, i still have to ask… is there enough room to put it up front with reasonable amounts of work? i just wonder if there are gains to be had close coupled to the motor, maybe some greater amounts of efficiency overall. Brian ---

So untill you make your car mid 10s for four seasons straight without ever not once breaking a part i dont want to hear about how radical my setup is. Oh and congrats on the rear mounted GOAT that is really impressive. ---

I did spray a 200 and went slower lol i couldnt get any traction so my best times were on a 175. But for roll racing i rock a 200 often. My best motor run i believe is 11.3 at 121. But this dosent make this build not impressive to me cause like its been said my car is pretty gutted and is probably a good 500 lbs lighter then the GTO and i was on 28in slicks. ---

shit im not really sure to be honest i have two 15lbs bottles and i keep them both full and i switch them after three-four runs and i always fill them the day after. I never run a bottle that low. There is some equation out there if you are really curious. ---
