I ran 12.0@113 with 450's, and no fuel control. And, yes, by what I gather your standard would be, it was gutted. I don't see the point in your post, and posts like yours come up here and there for some reason. There are different paths that we take to achieve speed, I chose the one that cost the least money and reduced the chances of breaking the most. Apparently, in the DSM world, we have "full street trim guys" and guys like myself that are not concerned with that. Both should be respected, but, for some reason us "gutted to hell" guys don't get that respect sometimes. Too bad. Sorry for the hijack.
No where in my post am I criticizing anyone for having a gutted car.Where the hell did you get that from?I realize that your a highly respected person and you have made many achievements for our cars,but get the stick out of your a$$.I said nothing to disrespect anyone.As a result,I really don't see a point in your post,but to jump on someone's back for no reason at all.Evidentally your day didn't go to favorably today and you had to bring up your morale and remind yourself of your greatness.Go You!Yes, and by "gutted to hell,"that means more than a 'typical' weight reduction of just removing a/c,rear seats,power steering,etc..And my "hahaha's" was me laughing to myself in amazement that 450's could be pushed down into the low twelves and the fact that a lot of weight would have to be removed in order to do so.Sorry,I'm not to great at portraying my personality through the internet.So baste in your glory "gutted to hell guys," be happy to know you have my respect.....Jesus.
