I remember when I was in your place. Guys on the forum said you will spend alot of money to get from 480 to break 500.... they were right

Black_SS10 · 12-29-2019, 07:47 PM

You gotta pay to play.

I think I'm just gonna drop the NF altogether then, lol, that's settled.

Seems 450 is a more attainable number tbh, I'll shoot for that on a dyno, I'll be able to run a good amount of cars with that number anyways.

Honestly, if I were the OP I would probably be PMing you and basically copying your build. I took a lot of notes from Pro Stock John on his build and then went on my merry way. And yes, you gotta pay to play. I've dumped plenty of $$$$ into this thing and its FAR from done.

It's not all about power. Gearing and torque converter, tuning are key. There's guys with a lot less power than me that would give me a run for my money or beat me at the track with autos.

OP just needs to do a lot of research. We have all been there.

That is a much more realistic and obtainable number for an automatic car. Besides you'll beat manual 500rwhp cars with 450rwhp in an automatic especially if you have the appropriate converter paired with your application.

He speaks the truth. The autos shift so much better than the best manual driver.

For me, I have in it what I paid for it initially.
