preparing for rant mode...

i get so annoyed when people call (or insinuate) things like nitrous and race gas are cheating. that makes no sense. what if i pulled the turbo off my car and then ran only nitrous, would it still be cheating? what if i ran race gas all the time? then would i have to drain my tank at the track and put in 93?

after switching from hondas to dsms a few years ago, the first thing i noticed was that everyone wanted to have the fastest dsm with a stock turbo, stock IC, stock injectors, on pump gas, blah blah blah. knowing full well they could go faster if they did things differently. it seems like people aren't into going fast as much as being known as the "fastest FWD 2G with stock downpipe and 3 people and a pack gummi worms in the car" or similar type scenarios...

if anyone wants to race me at the track, they can be absolutely sure that i'm going to be running a lot of boost, a lot of nitrous, and a lot of 110 octane.

so chris, what's the big secret? if it's anything less than a 60-1/T4 i'm going to be quite disappointed.
