At the hook/bog threshold 4.10s will give the driver an advantage with slicks as well. Give a good driver 4.10s and street tires on a stock motor and he'll pull away from the same car with 3.73s<br /><br />IMHO the easy answer is 4.10s unless you run a power adder, then 3.73s <img border="0" alt="[Whoo Whooooo!]" title="" src="graemlins/woowoo.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>PseudoCobra</b> <br /><small>Member # 1689</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,3,26,16,54,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Look at my sig, I get 17 MPG with those 4.10's.
