Well, how many motors did dan pop? Im sure at the level he was competing shit breaks. Isnt that why you guys STOPPED drag racing? i remember something about it being too expensive to compete.

IIRC Dan popped his last motor and called it quits. Quitting when you have practically no sponsors and 8th in the world, thats not something to laugh at. Thats quite an achievment.

But my point is, i can go build a 1000whp supra, and it can blow up. Doesnt mean it was put together wrong or anything. But when you make that kind of power, shit breaks plain and simple.

I think its disengenious to think that a high HP car is capable of never breaking.
Dan fried his pistons when he first tried to tune it (before he had a shop) anf then he popped the motor after several years running it on the same motor with the progressive build up to the 8 sec car. Like I said, stock pistons and rings. We decided to not pursue it anymore because we just couldn't afford to compete with Titan and MSP. It was a losing battle to try to keep up with 2 sponsored teams with several engines in the trailer backing them up. We had the car from 20001 until 2004 and it popped 2 times. Once at the very beginning (on the one we crashed which most people don't even know about) and once at the very end.

I do hear your point and like my title says. I am a snob and like the title doesn't say I am a hater toward certain things and this is one of them

I'm surprised that no one mentioned us blowing up the Evo. I am fully aware that high HP cars break....but I still know that you know where I am coming from even though you are mincing words.
