No. Its called having a nice sized savings account. I worked in Florida for a year making 2200 a week after expenses. Then I worked in Houston for about 8 months making 2500 a week after expenses. That was within the last five years. In between that I was making $400 a week after taxes for 32 hours of baking some bread. And I make side money buy an selling cars sometimes and work on cars for people. Any other questions?

I can see where brandon is coming from. They "grudge race" the turtle. And if they beat zacs car or even close to it they potentially will lose chances at getting more grudge races. And that in turns takes money out of their pockets. If zac ran the times he does with the turbo on spray then it wont matter as much . Look at all the events around here. Turbo cars pretty much aren't allowed to compete. Hell the ls event with the gbody shootout says nitrous cars allowed only and no turbos. Wonder why? Seems that many are afraid of them

U must really first understand the mental capacity of most grudge racers. You're talking about people who will lose a race one weekend, do absolutely nothing to their car to make it faster and want to race the same car the next weekend for MORE money and expect to win. Not the brightest group of people in the world.

That's very true. Im sure it's a stab at me, but that actually happened twice last Sunday in the same night, and they locked in $5000 for tomorrow night. First race was head up, second race gave up back tire to the loser and they lost again, and tomorrow is head up again...weird.

Honestly, most cars at the track are like Wes, and on edge. If they change something, it could hurt them more than help. So its a toss up to whether they can make it run better with a jet change. I will say the car didnt go straight on either pass, but from what I understand, it never does. lol

I'm going to throw this out, because I don't have a complete understanding of the way you guys think.

Who cares if it's a turbo car? I mean, I understand the basic reasoning, especially now that it's getting cooler out, the boosted cars are going to run well; however, isn't power just power? It doesn't matter how you're making it, as long as you are.

If you don't want to lose to a turbo car, why not just throw in a bigger nozzle, re-tune, or whatever? Power is power, faster is faster, etc. Know what I mean?

A bigger nozzle? Retune? A turbo car can make more power per cubic inch than a nitrous car. The tune and nozzle (whatever that is) aren't going to make a difference. So in the absence of a rule book to make things equal, it is easier to run just nitrous cars. The turbo cars can have their own race.

You're not answering the simplest question though.

What's the difference between a 1,000 WHP nitrous car and a 1,000 WPH turbo car, other than the power adder and obvious power curve traits respective to both applications?

What I'm trying to say is this. If you're losing to a turbo car, shoot a bigger nitrous shot. If you're losing to a nitrous car, crank up the boost.

It's just my opinion, but I think cars should race cars, and people should have fun regardless. If you're not fast enough, do what it takes to go faster depending on your application. "I'm not racing him because it's a turbo car" sounds silly in my opinion.

Now, I understand people are using Zac as a benchmark, and this IS grudge racing; however, I don't think that should be used an excuse to not make their cars faster to keep up.

You can't just put a bigger shot on a car. I don't want to explain how nitrous works. So I'll just leave it at that.

ZAC has a LS BLOCK thats good for 900+ HP hes good to do whatever he wants

Well that makes more sense. I was under the assumption Brandon made more power than that.

Brandons car should be around 400-450 on motor... Add a 200-300 shot and the wheels come off the ground.... even though a 150 shot will almost never be a true 150 hp at the tires

You can't just put a bigger shot on a car. I don't want to explain how nitrous works. So I'll just leave it at that.

You don't need to explain how nitrous works to me. I would like you to explain why he couldn't run a bigger nitrous shot to make more power, assuming his engine wouldn't fail, or he's dropping E/T's due to traction issues.

A 300 shot on a stock block is no joke, and I completely understand why he wouldn't run anything bigger if engine failure is the issue.

You can put a bigger shot on but unless the cam is right for it you won't make more power. If you can't take it from their I won't even try.

Even if it does make more power it may just blow through the converter and your gains, if any, would be minimal at best.

My car has nowhere near 300 because of the stock block. I cant out power Zac, and that's a given. It may be close, may be ugly, but im not wanting to ruin any chances I may have against other people. There's a reason there's a "bump" spot in the low 5s with "no boost" cars, and the bump for cars with boost is a 4.8ish....Boost will phuck nitrous cars up built on an identical platform. Me and Zac arent on the same platform, so that's not even an option.

Good one. I do not want to tell you about nitrous. Read it on the Internet. I do know more about nitrous than you. If you knew anything about it you would not be telling people to put a shot on it to make the same power as a turbo. If Sam Vincent can't make as much power with a 450ci nitrous car that Chris Tuten can make with a 360ci turbo car. Well, then it can't be done. Not saying that Chris to is any less than the baddest man in SSO.

I am not insulting him. He is asking me to explain something that I feel he would be better served finding out for himself. He obviously has an interest in the subject and wouldn't believe me if I told him. I gave him a place to start his research.

You should, because I've asked for an explanation. Your "retort" was to tell me I don't know anything and to look it up. That's a mighty strong argument.

You're right, I am trying to learn, and you are the self-proclaimed expert. I understand how nitrous works. You are the one claiming you can't run a bigger shot. All I asked was, "Why not?" And you haven't explained your claim.

I'm going to throw this out, because I don't have a complete understanding of the way you guys think.

Who cares if it's a turbo car? I mean, I understand the basic reasoning, especially now that it's getting cooler out, the boosted cars are going to run well; however, isn't power just power? It doesn't matter how you're making it, as long as you are.

If you don't want to lose to a turbo car, why not just throw in a bigger nozzle, re-tune, or whatever? Power is power, faster is faster, etc. Know what I mean?

Most people in grudge racing are scared to race turbo cars because they dont know anything about them. We aren't scared to run Zac but if everybody at the track watches us beat or hang with him its going to F up our hustle.

If the cam isn't setup for the amount of nitrous your trying to force into the motor it will be a waiste of time and money. You want see any gain in et. Not to mention that if the converter isnt setup for it you will start blowing through the converter.

You alluded to it in quite a number of your posts. It is what it is. I didn't realize nitrous was so camshaft-dependent, because I have never owned a car where nitrous was the primary power-adder. It does make sense, especially with it being a grudge match.

However, my original statement was alluding more to the point of this: All things being equal (meaning each car is properly built to withstand 1,000 HP, i.e. the nitrous car has the appropriate cam and supporting mods, which in this case it doesn't) I don't see why a 1,000 HP nitrous car couldn't beat a 1,000 HP turbo car at the same race weight and the same approximate power curve.

Ok. I like both of you turtles so I will be nice about this. Zac showed up, made some test passes and spun. Brandon shows up and I think the green slowstang made a pass. Next thing I know the white flying bird was loaded up. Shortly afterwards the flying bird was out of the gate. And than I saw the green slowstang make some more passes.
And carl, you and MR corey blew past me pretty good on the interstate. So if that was babying it than I can imagine your "taking it easy " than. Colin, mike king (?) Road the top of the wall last night. Was actually pretty impressive as everything looked still intact and no real body damage.

It was big mike who wrecked. I just did some tuning on it for him cause it was running like shit. First pass out on the new tune up and it was on the bumper past the 60ft on horsepower. When it came down it was heading towards the center line and then he tried to save it but it was to late it was headed straight for the wall. It grinded on top of the wall for about 50-100ft then it caught on fire. Mike was fine. It needs a new oil pan, anti roll bar, transmission pan maybe a transmission, front right suspension, and front right side of the body. I'm about to go take a better look at it so we can decide if he is gonna fix it or put everything on another chassis.
