In trail conditions for a quick blast not an issue if you pay attention to rpms. Do you think 230hp clutching will give you max results at 500hp? I wasn’t laughing at you , I’m fully aware of what needs to happen there lol. It’s an old argument we had here. I was just poking fun at a few guys here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had fun but got tired of seeing grown men act like petulant children too drags are a bit different as far as action after the race. Ovals is quite tame in comparison, but the rumor mill is always churning. I had a sled that could turn and I never rebuilt the motor for like 3 years. Hell I had the same paint on the studs from one year to the next at eagle river. Teck guy was like WTF no way. Opened it up and looked it over with scuffed pistons and all. Plus I didnt even change out the spark plugs from the year before. Ran the same set for 2 years. Went out and won it all with a half wore out engine and everyone knew it too. That was so satisfying. Once I did rebuild it, it was a rocket. Should have probably done it sooner so I didnt have to work so hard but when you are winning you just dont want to fuck with it too much.

Not getting 230 with that turbo and injector combo. Doo did this for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my war pig would have had a shot in a pure traction race like that. Had a buddy call me this afternoon about riding, mentioned he just picked up a new VR1 boost, so maybe I get to try one and line up against it Edited January 7, 2023 by DriftBusta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
