Also darth what sort of class do you plan on running in? N/A you should be okay but my friends dad runs 9.7's with a turbo but its a street class so street tires and all....and in the street class hes the fastest. Would seem like a shame if you ended up running in a class like that and couldnt be on the top with all the money youre throwing in....If theres a slightly lower class (ie not forced induction, not sure if nitrous would put you in that class???) you should be fine. Also dont forget the little things the guy who run's 9.7's gets 35 dyno proven hp from his oil pan over the stock one. I'm sure you have all that up in your mind somewhere though and with some good tuning you should kick some serious as.s

So chill.

And I had kinda thought you were adressing it to me too, but no big deal you cleared it up
