he probably hasnt told everyone the entire truth</TD></TR></TABLE>
well i know exactly what the car has and it is still crazy what he does. but jose has always been like that. for as long as i can remember he has always had crazy setups. he always was trying out different things to push the motors. all i know is the car is going to get redone with a couple of upgrades including engine management so it should still be very competitve.

2. many people have yet to understand that there are 10 different ways to get from point "A" to point "B". some ways are "better" than others. some are "easier" than others. some are even "safer" than others. but regaurdless, all you are trying to do is go 1320 feet as fast as you can and there are alot of ways to do that.
3. why one guy can make xxx amount of horsepower when another guy cannot does not mean anything. maybe the one guy reckless while the other guy is careful. not saying anything about jose, jason(stoopid), or anyone else, but again, what one person finds unacceptable, another may find it perfectly alright.
4. making 500 horsepower to the wheels is no major accomplishment. now a days, its seriously elimentary. if there is anyone on this board that thinks you cannot make 500 horsepower on a stock block for instance, they are mistaken. likewise, if you think you need a "magical" exhaust manifold or wastegate to reach a given horsepower level, then you are also mistaken. making power is not difficult. making it last is.
5. why "X" turbo makes 500 horsepower while "Y" does not is no major equation. all turbos are not created equal. i don't care what the housings say or what "wheel" they use. turbos and their builders have a mind of their own.
in summary, you can build a 500 horsepower honda motor for $1500 or for $8000. you can spend $200 bucks to manage it or $2000. who cares. to each his own.
but i still say that that guy from colorado did NOT run 10.80's on a 205 drag radial.

Karl has a way with words........go back and look at what he wrote.....that's saying something
