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?

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.

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

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.

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