Way better from a fluid on track perspective! Remember doing it at Joliet once on a Nova after pushing it from the near end of the pits. Don't recall doing it on Tom and Carol's Top Stock car. Remember IHRA giving Morgan a real hard time on it at a race, still don't know why cant believe an aluminum intake can wick that much heat. Real world, someone would have to test back to back to see if the aerosol cans actually work in 95 degree sunshine by the time you stage or if it all just a placebo.

As to the braking issue, didn't Bruno smack the wall in Chicago a few years back? I think who ever was driving his Camaro this year didn't hit anything but had it get loose at the stripe. I did it once at Union Grove on grudge night with a Turbo Regal. Dialed 14 something against a 9 or 10 second Modified Eliminator Bug. I'm way down track looking back and forth in the mirror waiting for his green light and coasting near 1000' and finally realize they dialed me in at 19 seconds. Looked like 14 at the line... I hit the brakes and he said it looked like tire smoke billowing but being on four stock Goodyears it was just like driving on a Chicago expressway, no issues. I did learn a lesson and just dialed it in at 19 seconds after that. Nice and cool going down track in July with the A/C working
