i think it comes down the where you want to race, if racing on the street is important to you, then i agree with ian. it is completely pointless to slick/boost/spray/weight reduce/octane increase your car at the track to get a 13.50 then go out the next night with your normal low 14's setup and challenge an LS1 camaro at a stoplight...

but, i think racing at the track is a lot more fun, so my car is built accordingly.
