I'll be taking it to the track when the tracks prep their tracks better. So far havent heard of a track with great traction this summer.

Denton is great on event nights and rentals.
Am I the only one that has never researched or cared what the difference in STD/SAE/etc... was?
800hp nitrous car should be FAST imo! What tire?
Congrats

Either you're not going on the right nights or you need to do more suspension work.
You go on a normal tnt or ricer night, you're going to have some problems.

When you make 1400 rwhp does it matter?

I agree, a dyno number is nothing but a calculation that is never accurate as to what the engine makes. Every thing can effect the dyno number, trans, rearend, wheels, etc. too many variables.
Oh and he is on nitto nt-05r radials. My understanding is with 35 lbs of air it dead hooks around 30 mph on motor.

This past weekend at Ennis the track was terrible. Couple drivers said they will not return to Ennis for another race... Everyone I spoke with said they would have gotten just as much traction on a raw street surface..
