The WG comes with a 12psi spring lol, but if the engine pops, there will be real boredom. true dat. you saw what happened when you were in sarios car (which to my knowledge was every bit what your car was) vs. my car on 9psi right? that was a slightly better setup 🙂 … imo, the car this year will be slower than the cam and nitrous, in the interest of keeping the engine in one piece. i personally don’t think the car will go 10’s. probably 11.4 area with some seat time. but jim doesn’t seem to care about the track that much which i can relate to 100%, so i hope people don’t give him the same beef i got. not everyone builds their car to put up low ET’s, some want something fun to jerk around with on the street. this is a setup he wants, so if he’s happy, saweeet. on another note, april may be a little optimistic… but we’ll get there ALSO, lol at “my car will never have an automatic”… sounds exactly like me ---

No offense to Jt but he never got good at driving his old setup at the track…I can’t imagine this setup is going to be any better. He will get pissed and go auto its on a matter of time. ---

Even if the TA is a little slower for 1 year, I think he can deal with it till his setup is complete with a better engine. But I’m sure it’ll be a little faster! Other people with setups like this run 500rwhp min all day long! Good Luck JT! ---

Also, i didnt want to deal with the potential belt slip and belt shredding issues of a supercharger that some of my friends have experienced.
