reduction in weight was very minimal and everyone knows that the 42R does not allow the room to run both it and the A/C compressor.Dan lives in Vegas and if their was room for an A/C compressor I would be willing to bet he would run it.
There are topmount manifolds which do allow for a 42R and A/C, but you knew that already, right? Cars without A/C are walking a fine line IMO between nice street car and race car just my opinion. I didn't say it was a tin can did I?

IMO a street car is more like AL's with full interior, full exhaust, radio, PW/PL intact, no lexan, and a functional A/C. Al doesn't have A/C either though.

We can have different opinions it's okay

Dans car has full interior, full exhaust, PW/PL intact, no lexan, might have a radio (not sure)

Al's car is gutted behind the dash, has no AC or heat, no power steering, light weight drag racing brakes, etc.....

Dans car is no less a street car than Al's

Good to know, thanks. By no means do I think Al's car is a the epitome of a street car. Dan's car is awesome no doubt about it!!

Good job Dan!

Dan had sent me a text message Saturday night telling me he went 9.5 @ 152mph. Thats the last # I knew he had ran.

See you guys at NOPI in Norwalk!
