Ventura, I wasn't trying to take anything away from what Steve is trying to accomplish, I was merely trying to make him see how much of an a$$ he sounded like with his last comment.

Doesn't matter that he wasn't driving, he's still tuning it. You make it sound like "running 7's in a go kart" is easy. Well, if it were, everyone on this board with a dragster would be doing it. Steve is still sorting out his tuneup, and when the clutch is finally figured out and he can keep all 8 candles lit at the same time without grenading it, it should run solidly into the 6's at well over 200-MPH. Like many of us though, Steve has too many pokers in the fire, which takes away some of his focus on the dragster. I've told him before via email (and others probably have too), that if he quit trying to compile so many different race cars and just concentrated over the next year or two on the dragster, he'd get what he's going for, and that is the quickest and fastest 1/4 mile ticket ever by a traditional Pontiac powered vehicle.
