Hot Rod vs. CHP- The dual!

Well, Hot Rod is finished their 350 HO swap into their '82 Camaro and CHP seems happy with their '87 305. So who wins? Numbers dont lie and CHP has a clear lead over Hot Rods' 13.30, because they're in the 12s. Are they the real winners? They spent arounsd the same ammount of money (5 grand) and hassle. Is the 350 HO conversion worth it then?

(-Dont shoot the messenger guys!, btw)

The Hot Rod 350 powered car wins in my book. It makes it's power and runs it's numbers all day long with no nitrous. In my book that puts it wayyyyyy ahead. NO2 is for losers...

I couldn't agree more, but the Hot Rod car is only slightly better then the no-nitrous of the CHP car. Was the conversion worth it?

I think so, because it still has alot of potential left in it. Frankly a stock ZZ4 is pretty tame, plenty left to wring out and easily beat the 305s NO2 times as well... Not that the 305 couldn't be improved some more too, but I think the HotRod 350 is just going to be better all around.

When should I see you at the track? I have two bottles that say you'll be looking at the rear of my car all day at the track. :lala:
So if NO2 is for losers, what about Nitro Methane?
Last years parts are only in the sig, I'll let you know next month April 13th to be exact as to what it runs this year.
