I'm sure this has been done before - but things change so lets see...

what would be the top 10 things you have done that have made the biggest diffence on the dyno or your track times?

Think of it as a package shopping list with one aim - the 10 things that got you the biggest difference.... ignore price - just results in your opinion of order.

If there was a mod that you think is highly over rated or worse - maybe add a top 5 Lemon Mod list as well.... :laugh:

9. Got kicked off track but pleaded for one EASY run since I had been waiting over an hour in line.
10. Got the uncontrollable urge to see what the car would run with a more aggressive pass and clicked off a 10.3x with track officials chasing me off the premises. :headbang:

If it's a wish list, how about DOHC, 4 valves, 800 cubes, redline at 12,000, 1400 hp NA.

lol Joe - actually there was one of those except it was 500 cubes not 800. It was called a McGee engine - developed in Australia for Top Fuel. It was fast as heck - but the smaller moving parts couldn't take the 7000hp like the big heavy Hemi parts could.

On race gas this would have been a mighty combo tho.

I agree that a multi valve Viper would be the ultimate.... who knows, one day....

:cool:
