Secondly - the trash talking and BS talk is stuff I love and it actually helps motivate me to spend countless long hours sweating underneath my car toiling away when I should be relaxing with my wife and being a "normal person"
However, I think that certain rules and guidelines need to be followed in any society in order to maintain a civil dialouge and using multiple screen names in an attempt to hide one's true identity is just too low a blow

I changed the injectors to 1650
I changed a few other things but I can't remember what they are now

Didn't you get busted about a year ago using multiple screen names? You were banned for a while, right? Oh yeah, option A.

To be honest, I have no idea what to expect until I get some time behind the wheel. We're going to be running at full weight on 18" street tires. I'm just looking forward to seeing your car run along with some of your competition. Threads like these make these events more fun, kind of like the old WWF! I look forward to meeting you.
Its going to be a great race this year with plenty of excitement!
I think everyone needs to think about this vote alot more.
This is my breakdown:
Option A = Leaves a strong excuse of not running the car at full potential and you would just speculate on how fast it truly is.
Option B = Leaves nothing out of the equation... gives a real idea of the full cars power/potential.
I dont see any reason in running the car at non-full potential. For one, you get the reward of being the quickest Evo 8 in the world if you hit it. Two, you have full ball bragging rights if you can straight up beat some of the other full race cars (Yours is too but doesnt seem to be nearly as much as most). Option A just makes it more of a bracket type race where an 18 second car could kill a 9 second car. Doesnt make any sense to me for option A... just to be winner? I would rather lose a race and own the fastest car than win a race and just be another guy that could have a 15 second car. The idea of building your car that fast is to drive it that way
Not to limit the power just so you can win a race. Otherwise why do half of it in the first place?
