I guess all the NOPI racers should just go home then? Seeing as how they're just tarting up cars that weren't meant to be drag raced...

Where exactly in the spectrum of stock cars does your finely balanced but drag-handicapped ride become a fire breathing monster than can't handle well and only lives a 1/4 mile at a time? My point is there is no dividing line like that (well, okay, if you have to pull it on a trailer...). More like "gee, how fast is your car?"

Due to very peaky power curve on S/C s2000, getting good numbers in 1/4 wont be easy.

Although, the rolling start is S/Ced S2000's strongest point.


Let's get back into topic...

I have Vortech S/C running stock pully w/Amuse Duals
Also have spoon FW/clutch kit

E46 M3 is pretty much dead even from 50mph roll.
I did many runs...
But over 90mph, my S2000 steady pulls away, because gear gap between shift is smaller so I can stay at much higher rpm.

Also ran with MTM spec 420hp RS4 from roll.
From 60mph to 110, it was dead even also.
Ran twice, but my s2k did NOT pull away from RS4 like with M3.

Considering my car had hardtop+Spare-tire & tools+12in woofer and full sound system, I would say S/C s2k has much more potential.
