1/4 is more about driver skill, the launch, the shifts, and power under the curve as well as peak hp. It's the total package and not just peak HP and who has the most money there is much more skill involved.
The infamous Curt Brown that drives a stock turboed EVO to a 10.9, Allen who runs sub 10.50's, or John that runs 10.0's.
I love you're videos, but I like the track much more again good luck.

ha.. yeah, from a dig on the street I dont think anyone in their right mind would try an race you.. I would assume your next project will be upgrading the driveline.

I would probably have alot less runs if I were strict about going from a dig.
holy *****!!! that spells nothing but trouble, thats a ticket waiting to happen without ever pushing the gas peddle. have to drive using the brake instead of the gas hahaha. good job ams!! damn i wish i was closer

Perfect example: I broke my car with 380whp more times then you did with 600whp. but i was always drag racing from a dead stop and launching constantly
The older you get and the more children you have the more street racing becomes a liability and risk that is too great to take. That is the whole point with drag racing. You can settle grudges, have fun, just watch if you want, in a controlled enviroment and even playing field. Maybe one day they will have a roll racing type of even who knows, but I would hate too see a accident happen because of high speed roll racing instead of taking it to the track.
I agree with you that EVO's do break alot of drivetrain parts AWD is a double edged sword in that respect no doubt about it.

I am sure the controller is turned all the way up... Martin stated to me that it hardly made any difference due to fact that its a small amount compared to the fuel and air the motor is injesting..... I remember on one of the lower HP runs that night (860ish) that Martin stated the injector duty cycle was over 80%... thats a LOT of fuel coming out of 4 1600cc injectors..
