Let us acknowledge issues that are not so obvious. Mike probably has more invested in his car than most. His outweighs EVERYBODY ELSE'S without comparison. Fuel-injected, turbo'd, intercooled, nitrous-enhanced 383 inch displacement powerplants will produce more power than any 468 nitrous-injected normally aspirated big-block. Chassis dynos exist in the Houston area that can prove this point. (I'll pay for the demonstration if you like)
Chucky usually runs well initially because the parts have not become hot enough to detonate.
Chucky will whoop your ass as the problem has been remedied as of today.
There is a good chance that Chucky will not finish the next race because nitrous and turbos don't mix. He'd fare better if he simply removed the bottle.
I think that his dump pipe is as ridiculous as it gets and not needed.
And most importantly, "Cars that run the big mph at the track are the ones that you'd better avoid on the street"
Nobody in central La. that I know of has beaten my street car's mph record at Eunice. (149.77 mph w/ a 200 shot spinning wildly through 1st and 2nd gear) When you approach this terminal velocity, let me know and I'll easily up the ante to 155 mph, at will.
This is what it will take to ready X for your spanking. Fuse box, wiring harness, factory carpet, (2) seats, fab'd dashboard, switch panel, steering column and lots of laughs to go with the stomping I'll give you. Your little, anemic, punk 468 ain't got the beans to mess with an injected, Meaux-headed 571 bad boy. You can bet the farm on that. How about doing it this Friday night? No money necessary, just for bragging rights?
Just because X can beat him on the street doesn't mean that you can. I admit, though, that you will handle him at the dragstrip.
Remember this though. Temper is what gets you in trouble and pride is what keeps you there. Get ready.
