haha 2/3 2gs and 13/17 1gs. I prefer 1gs to dem bubbles cars!

Josh [L], if it was a NEED, I would take it. OBVIOUSLY. But I'd rather... Ahh fuck it I've said it all before and none of you get MY point, I GIVE UP!

Most of the guys nowdays are running nitrous to get into the 9s. It is more common now than a few years ago. Look at the DSMTimes list. 2 out of the 3 2Gs in the 9s are running nitrous and 13 out of the 17 1Gs running 9s or faster are on the bottle.
Affordable widebands. I believe that's the reason so many people are stacking poweradders now. Ten years ago it was uncommon to even see an EGT guage in a car for tuning purposes. Now you can pick up a wideband for a few hundred bucks and tune the car to perfection with very little hassle and without guessing what your A/F is. I have seen countless pistons melted with the old open loop Accel DFI setups. One wrong keystroke, go lean and instant molten aluminum. The majority of it was trial and error. The cylinder pressures in Shep's 2.0 have got to be something unbelievable on the bottle, and controlling that is amazing, simply amazing.

i never really thought of that.... honestly with his boost (has to be over 40 pounds) plus atmos, plus whatever the nitrous adds. my god thats like over 1000? maybe near 1500? i dunno maybe im just an idiot?

and then compression from the piston.

don't forget the cheese!

Thats why he uses 400,000 psi head studs, compared to the normal ARP at 180,000 psi.

40+psi and 11:1 compression ratio, then add some nitrous. I really want to be in the passenger seat!

For those of you that haven't heard.....He did it. Ran a 7.97 at near enough to 180 mph.
