same goes for most of the Rislone additives i see popping up to "fix cracked heads" and the like, if the car was looked after, you wouldnt be looking for a $50 fix in a bottle ;)

Then there really isn't any reason for it is there, only a choice between useless & harmful.


thats not true, its a $12 margin and 15 minutes of labour that can be charged to the owner :P

$12 + .25 hours!!!
Then why hesitate to $&#$%'m over big time & make some big engine $$$$. It's only a little step further.

I'm going to throw my hat in and say drag racing stock cars will be pointless and 'not real racing' within the next couple decades.

It'll be launch control on, the trans will change at the optimal point, and all the driver needs to do is nail a good reaction time and hold on.

Whoop-de-doo - a skyline can do a 10 second quarter. But there is absolutely no skill in it other than lifting your foot off the brake at the right time.

I'd rather an 11 second H-box over a 10 second sequential any day, on an equivilent car. At least Toyota's starting to move in the right direction with the FT86.
