So here is the comparison I believe the thread starter is assuming:

IX Cheap
11.9 ET
115 MPH Trap
~300 hp

VIII Expensive
11.3 ET
120 MPH Trap
500+ hp

200 more horsepower and only 5 more mph? Weird.

Here's this same crap that Al came in here a while back with. If you can't drive you can have that flash, and those mods and still not make the 11s....just the same as if the car isn't properly setup you can have a great driver and still not make the 11s.

Anyways congrats to Khalid for his time (and Paul for his as well in the other thread).

shes still not doing good she cant get out of bed without her head spinning...but were going back to the doctors in the morning if it doesnt get better. The only solution is for them to operate on the back of her head and were tryin hard to find some other way to get around it

I think that was either Poppoffs only pass, or second pass.

Just stating the facts. Of course you can have those mods and not run that time. But for those that do have this combo, their car will be capable of running 11s.

Lets keep the ifarted bs off this. Some people go about modding their car differently, not my cup of tea to bolt on a big turbo - but they do pull pretty hard and can give that big power fun.

Paul should have no problem getting into the 10s with a built head, can rev it to 9k+ depending on the setup he goes with. Do you daily drive it? Try revolvers and supertech dual valve springs
