u just keep posting about every little thing on earth mayb u should chill out on posting for a while -
wow, after reading this thread I realized I know alot about cars. Btw, Jim what did your car trap at on the 14.2, I thought you said 103 or 106 when I first met you.
It takes years to get a real good understanding on how cars work and performance. So devin quit rippin on My Nova, b/c you just asked if slicks reduce engine torque.

Well, heres the thing. The first time that I went to the track, my turbo was in good condition, but I didn't have anything but 14" rims + really worn out tires, so I couldn't do anything but spin. I was trapping i think it was 104mph.
Then after an entire summer of racing, I was able to burrow nick tufte's old worn out drag radials and get some traction, at which point I had my best 1/4 mile time, but my lowest trap speed.
Does that make sense? My turbo wasn't as good as when I first started and got my best trap speed, but I got my best time b/c I got traction.

Yeah it does actually. The 14" rims+tires where probably lighter and smaller diameter than the slicks. The 60' advantage the slicks provide become a hinderance at higher speeds because of the affect on gearing due to wider diameter.

I have a great idea, I think that spoolude should stop giving Nova shit about the race, he has made his point many times on other threads besides this one. Plus violence doesn't solve anything.
