    ^^ i agree....getting a little out of hand. IMO. I don't want to see a fellow IA member, or even more important a good friend in the paper or on the news.

    Try hooking a high HP FWD at anything under 50mph and ask again, lol.

    150 isn't insanely high. If it were 170 or so, then it would be a little much.

    150 gives enough time to distinguish a winner/loser.

    we all know that no FWD can make big numbers.

    Umm, I've had high HP FWD's before and not one of them did anything that required DR's for highway pulls.

    i barely grip on low boost @ 365-380 hp before 60mph in second gear on drag radials

    it all depends on the setup (turbo, suspension, weather, power band, displacement)

    What is your definition of "high HP"? I could barely hook at 500fwhp in my Integra w/ Azenis RT-615s. At 630whp it was spinning until 90+ mph.

    630 is "high HP", but does Chad have that much is the question, right?

    Talk about getting of subject.



    Those that commented about going 150 should just no respond as the run does not involve you. Not really sure why comments are made regarding this when this 1) is the kills forum 2) there are more than a handful of other threads with runs going to @150; why are you bitching here.

    FWD and DR's from a roll is whatever to me really. I know Chad runs DR's normally, I believe, so therefore I made that remark. This will eliminate of not hooking when he brake boosts the car @50mph.


    Thread back on topic please; awaiting Chad to come in and reply.
