They never should.
You feel the same about nitro cars running 300+?
They never should.
Hey idiot. It was 400 ft. 2000hp. Tends to get away from you at times...

hmm so its ok to run double the mph at half the weight?
My point is I agree the safety specs should seriously be looked at. The nitro cars were not up to spec either until the specs were changed. I remember people saying the same stuff about nitro cars when they were creeping up on the 300 mark 27 ish years ago.
Nitro cars are built to do this trucks are built to tow a camper.
Not the trucks that are doing 140 in the 1/4
A real race from the old days was always the 1/4
let's see the similarities. ...2300 lbs and 1000 ft best drivers in the world with dual chuts....what's the comparison?You feel the same about nitro cars running 300+?
Now it is 2000hp...
...This year yes actually slightly more. Last year was 1700 hp with a 42 mph back half....last year only 1 other could back half like us...schied.
You ran 4.90's @ mid 140'smph. @ 2800lbs... That is the same as an Ultra Street car, but they are 3250lbs...
I have a number of friends that run Ultra street and the best they run is 1300hp with an extra 400lbs... Even my buddy that runs x275 wouldn't claim he makes 2000hp even on the engine dyno and he runs 4.50's @ 160mph at 3200lbs.
WADE maybe others don't race anything else, but for the rest of us that do, you are so full of $hit it is coming out your ears.
What I would give to see your engine on the same dyno the same day as JSP and listen to your excuses as to why you were 800hp shy of JSP and 800hp shy of your claimed 2000hp...
Lol...where do I start....last year (2013)I went 4.80 @ 152 mph @ 2800 lbs with out lock up and 25% convertor slippage!!!!!!
This year on our first and only straight pass put down numbers that translated to a 4.40 1/8th. Was only a 330 pass.
You figure out those numbers.
So even if you ACTUALLY did a 4.40 pass and not just CALCULATED a 4.40 pass you are still just where the top of X275 runs, but not the MPH and they are 400lbs heavier, and still not claiming 2000hp... More like 1700hp and 400lbs heavier... :nail:
We are not running the same engine. The new one crushed the old one in the hp dept. Also you forgot to calculate the convertor slippage.
