And back those numbers up with my datalogger. Kinda works like BrianG calculator. You don't have a wind tunnel to play with, so why waste time calculating things you don't have hard numbers for.

70mph in a 1/8 is pretty damn fast and still affordable to me. 100mph is just stupid fast and I can't afford the upkeep of such a monster without my wife killing me.

100mph is just cool! Over 100mph is, well its

I want to go 112.15mph which is .01 over my LHS guy's GTP.
