Go stage 5 but once Brett and Mike (whocares05050) can get to the track the same time it can be compared to who's is harder (just read that back and it didn't sound too good). Although it would have to be soon cuz Mike is taking the clutch out or maybe did already. Hey want to buy a stage 4 clutch? I know someone selling one. :D

yeah, Todd get get me either 4 or 5 for the same price. I know the 5 holds more power, but I was wondering if the 4 would be more driveable for street.
If the difference is barely noticable, then I'll go with the 5, but I really don't want an on/off type of clutch. ARGH!

After I let him borrow the tires, he constantly ran 9.2. Secondly, Louis has roughly 100hp LESS than me. Obviously there is going to be a difference when you are reaching the tires gripping points... So, correction, he did not shave several tenths off of his 1/8th mile. You could have ran a 10sec run, and made the same excuses why you didn't run 9's, and I still would have questioned them.

RSX: Man, that last race, when we took off, you were like....BAMM! I was like WTF
Louis: Yeah, I changed tires...

dont know exactly what his times were, as i wasn't there. just pointing out the fact that nobody makes excuses like you. i think its pretty funny that you are trying to call someone out for making excuses.

The tires allowed him to be consistent. But did not improve his time over what has already ran before. He ran 9.2's on the street tires, as well as on the Drag Radials.
