    It doesnt have to be for competition, it can be for TNT like I do.
    I'd love to hear how people are doing with different combos.
    Being able to spin yer tires for 3 city blocks aint gonna cut it:p:p:p

    Assuming I get all my parts back I'll be driving mine from Northern MN to Bowling Green in six weeks. It'll be interesting to see how the new combo shakes out, I'm guessing I'll have to spring for a set of drag radials.

    There used to be a track that was 20 min away from me...I'm trying to remember the name of it......that's right E-Town :rolleyes:....unfortunately my 1/4 mile days are gone since there isn't a track nearby anymore. Atco is going away as well and the last standing 1/4 mile is at Island dragway which is too far to go since I don't have a trailer and if anything happens I'm stranded.

    I want to, but I keep taking stuff apart that turns into side projects. All I wanted to do was plug n play some new LEDs bulbs and ended up taking my whole tail light assembly out to clean up and paint! Not a huge job but while im doing that, im not working on tuning the qjet on the SP3.

    If I ever want to make it to the track, I need to stop dismantling my car! :D

    AAA 200 mile towing. Only pain is the 1-2 hour wait for them to come and get you with their flatbed. Make sure you have a cooler with beers and a sandwich at the track.:D

    First time I broke into the 13’s my alt. Crapped on the way home, it was dark and was wondering why my lights were brown lol, made it in the dark on a busy highway, no lights, wife goes to put the pass window down, I yelled “NO” we needed all the bolts the battery had left, we made it 4 miles from home it finally died, it went quietly:p
    Called State Farm I have towing, free flat bed ride home

    I 'm having a 350 built for my car. When I get it I will definitely do some TNT runs with it. I'll post the results when I get them. Can't wait!!!

    I think we still have 4 w/in 90 min. Of course the one 15 min. away closed last year.

    I'm a maybe. I'd like to get one engine together in time to tnt this year but I'm the eternal optimist & everything takes longer than I think it should.

    It seems to want more fuel between 4-4.5k. Up to that there is no bog whatsoever even at WOT. You guys give up too easy! :D

    Perseverance & patience. I'm curious to see if it can work. I agree a square bore makes sense, but the QJ gurus say it can work.
