whats "go juice" Because if you have to put something like that in your car to make it "go"..........it really can't "go" in the first place.

Kind of like steroids????
its nitrous oxide and yes the car went w/o it but goes extremely good with it. sjgsm some of those cars you say you are beating like the lambo ect they must not know how to drive or something. sat i was gonna snap some pics for ya but went out for a ride on the bike.

thanks for the comment. Anyone can reach 4-digits horsepower ratings if they have enough money it is not hard. especially for a V8 or Inline 6. As you can tell I am into the four cylinders/imports. The stock bottom end out of the MKIV TT can handle 1000hp. That is low life expectency though. The easiest way to go fast is a V8 there is no replacement for displacement no matter how bad people want there to be. You hear alot of people say my turbocharged 4 cylinder is faster than your v8 but in reality if the v8 running low 13's on the motor then added 7-12lbs of boost it is probably going to run mid to low 11's if not faster and the 4cylinder is running a minumum of 15-20lbs to go just as fast. turbo sizes will play a big role of course and so will tuning devices but that is too much to get into. I know a guy here in town with a chevelle running 9.60s @14X.XX. It is 4000lb full ******** with a cage of course street car not tubbed. he has a big block and 300shot of nitrous. I am a car enthusiast. Just for people that do not know this 60ft times in drag racing make your E.T., Mile an hour through the light shows horsepower.

You nailed it on the head with the comment about displacement beating all. I am a roots guy I will even admit now I mostley underdrive the nose by around 10-20% for sake of longevity. I have the go big or go home mentality wth engines obviously. But power is nothing without control.
I have done builds where I toss everything that isnt nailed down for sake of weight to push for extra .01's But somewhere along I have come to appreciate actually driving the machines I build instead of just torturing them to the max for sake of trackslip braging rights. Money wil buy HP on paper sure but best shiftlight and rev limiters in the world wont help you if you dont know what your doing.
Nicely done, not overboard or rediculous. very clean build, now tell him to paint that helmet. LOL

I couldn't agree more with the more displacement idea. The smallest I run in any of our racecars is 565 cubic inches, and the biggest I am running are 632 cubic inch motors. big cubes and lots of compression.............

I always have an ear to the ground for a real godzilla, but I cant justify going so extreme for my particular needs. The Donavans and KB's just get silly (in a good way) But I dont race for comp just a nutjob amatuer, More like a hack. LOL. I am always humbled when my puny 502 sits measures up to one of the REAL monsters. I can think im hot stuff all I want on the street with my measley 1200hp then you hear someone fire up a 3500hp beast and you wanna curl up in a little ball. lol
