Water injection?
Propane injection? (no...because you hate nitrous)
remove weight?

7's? I'd be more than happy with that too!
Just trying to pry your secrets from ya.
Hey, I'd like to do a second/third gear pull next to your car again soon... I changed a few things and can't tell if it made a difference. I need a dyno, damnit.

HighPSI, so you have no respect for someone who runs higher octane at the track or swaps out radials for slicks, why? It's a fucking TIMESLIP, you get them at DRAG STRIPS, not at the hardees drive-through at the end of a road you just street raced on. So what a guy flashes a nice timeslip on the street, ask him about his car, what he was running, that is what makes life interesting, CAR ENTHUSIAM. Don't scoff at him because he's sportin' scuffed up Tim's or because his timeslip is decent and he wants to empty your wallet on the street.
You have to gauge what you think that guy with the low timeslip will run on street tires and 93 (or is he running 93?), it's all part of the game of street racing and gambling.

Was this forum about a meeting? And I plan to strip a lot of shit out of my car, but that's only because I'm taking any money I would put into mods to pay the thing off as fast as possible, and I want to have a decent time for having a stock car. Might even run race gas and advance timing, but who knows? Fast is fast, so who cares how they get there? Would you bitch at a Ligenfelter Corvette for busting into 9's because they were running 110 octane fuel and claiming it as a street car?

I agree with the run what you brung...as long as you have tags and an inspection. No matter what gas no matter what tire (as long as its not a true slick) no matter what boost no matter what nitrious...come on now you all
That thing i do!

Exactly as HighPSI (Dave) said, however you run it on the street is the only number I want to hear thrown around. When I drive up, stage, run a 12.0 and drive her home the exact way she came then that is having a fast street car. If I drive around with 100 Oct in the tank daily, and make a run down the track with that then that too is a STREET CAR. The whole tags/inspection thing is bunk. Run what you brung, not "trick it out once you get there to get the most BS time slip ever and then quote it all the time". The point about going to a track without VHT is valid, unfortunately I haven't found any like that so I make do.
I quote a pass like this: 1.9 60' 13.7 @ 100 (18 PSI/93 Oct)
And if I did it the way I'm describing: 12.X @ 10X (no mention of 110-116, stripped interior for the run, or drag slicks)
