How can someone be complaining about having a disadvantage when they've never taken the heads off the motor!?! Do people think Butner, Skillman, etc. have done no work to their motors to run in the 8s? Stock Eliminator does not mean take a stock motor and run quick with it, it actually takes work! I don't care how good the V10 is from the factory, there is no way that a good engine builder could fail to make improvements.

My point exactly Andrew.

And I do not believe Skillman ran his "untouched."

I don't know why I care but ours has had plenty of work done on it and has undergone many changes. I am not sure what the point is when you buy a purpose built, factory race car, authorized by NHRA to run in stock eliminator. Seems to me for one hundred grand it better be fast out of the box but you must keep working on it or the field will pass you by

I am not sure who I would believe when they say it is "untouched" - is that worth bragging about? or is it just a head game?

Ever heard the old story about a guy telling tech "I know that guy is cheating" tech said "how do you know?" the guy said "because I am and he is faster than me"
If 000 is "untouched" it is real fast - because we have been working our butts off to be as fast as we are

I think everybody expected way too much out of these V10s - they are quite a piece but nothing like the Fords - they are unreal with the blower and some of the NA cars are stupid fast

It really is not worth talking about - racers do not usually tell everybody everything when they are trying to out run you

just curious how you arrived at the conclusion you /we are the fastest cc/sa just curious

Re: Should the MOPAR V10 DragPak get a 3speed?
 

Mr. Durham, I believe that we agree, just in different wording. And I should have been clearer as to not assuming that you guys have not worked on your car.

Just was stating that your car is fast and so is 000. 000 is claimed to have not had the heads off.

Congrats on running that well this weekend. Hope we get to meet you guys somewhere along the way.

No worries no offense taken - just saying them Cajuns are tricky - the special language and all - LMAO

I spoke with NHRA and hope they will have the new class at the SportsNationals in Las Vegas in October

Everyone should be out for the four races in five weeks

Tough on the budget and job but who could resist
