You were doing fairly well until you mushed off that part. Let's see you bring that stocker "up" to my track and run it in a DA over 3300. You won't even want to admit your car was that slow. Shows you are just who I thought you were after making that statement. And....my corrected DA, was 11.98 @ 122 MPH for that particular run. Hmmm...that is about a full second ahead of you, my friend. Do I need to school you on how much that time "owned you."
So you've got to run your car at sea level with a great da....big deal. Not because of your wonderful starts.
Now go check your air in your tires and make sure you have that safety vest on.

Dang, Bullwinkle, simmer down!
Hey, I'm only poking at you because you started it! Can't stand the heat? And when did you become the all knowing one who knows
who I am? That's inferring a lot from a typed word! You don't know, period. But if you think so, then you're right, of course!
I love the amazing insight that you somehow know me because I'm cautious. I'm also good looking! Or did you already know???
Now, I'll grant you that chemically pumped up Hemi of yours can (and should) outrun me side by side. But I'll guarantee you, 35 years of experience can still cut a mean light at the track, even WITH a safety vest. Put us in identical cars at the same track and you don't have a chance. And that's the ONLY time it matters. Side by side, Mano Y Mano. DA is irrelevant. It's all about the driver, not the car.
Besides, you haven't seen the tops of your pistons yet. I'll be waiting to hear when she blows. Sooner or later it's bound to happen. I am NOT wishing you ill, just seen it happen way too often in many different cars. It's my duty to try and inform these younger, less experienced owners out there who come into this forum and assume you guys know what you're talking about. And it doesn't matter what you say,
I still get to talk all I want.
No reputable engine builder will endorse any Nitrous in these cars without major mechanical and tuning mods. Dozens of others will install anything to make a buck. A few more will think they know better.
BTW, I'll post at least a low 11 with my Healy replica this winter. And there's no nitrous involved. All motor. I think with a properly sorted rear suspension it could do a high ten! AND THERE ARE MODS coming for the SRT8. Hell, my brother in law is a top notch machine shop owner! I'm just proceeding cautiously. I've blown dozens of motors to develop my attitude and experience. I'll get a very low 12 with mods that do no harm to my car.
And remember what a smart old drag racer once said when asked why he was a ****y and wore a 5 point harness when no one else did in super stock class: "there's a thin line 'tween courage and stupid!"
I'll keep my vest on. You get to do whatever you want. Don't you just love this country?
