thats an easy fix.
cars come naturally to me. i rebuilt my first carburator when i was ten. i rebuilt my first 48 when i was 14 and i hit 12.573 in a 1.6L 4cyl when i was 18.
and tell me what part do have in building those cars? show me a picture of you and your team by your car. then show me a picture of you by your car.
ill discuss/debate you on any automotive topic. so far all you have brought to the table in our discussion was your "convincing" subtration.
trust me. the gains seen from underdrive pullies graph on a parabolic scale

working on cars all ur live gets u the hands on, but to FURTHER your education you go to school. i know a ton of **** about business. why am in in university? not to mention "ive been working on cars since i was 14" sounds A LOT less impressive than"i've been working on cars since i was 14, then studied at ________ for ___ years.
ANYWAY. i'm gonna go with dave on this one. though as the hp increases, the 5% diminish, to get your car in the 6's, you will not see the benefit of the pullys drop anywhere near 0. it is much easier to challenge you as to why you think the pullys will not have a % of increase at each hp increment. we can imagine we're twirling different sized rocks above our heads all day, but when it comes down to it... i'm gonna stand with dave on this one
btw.. i've also built 2 drag racers with my uncles team. 2 nova's. impressed? thought not. it says nothing, unless you built that car, designed the engine, etc, etc all on your own.
not taking sides on any reason but each of your arguments. this is not personal

I don't see why you have to resort to name calling, We oviosly have diffent opions on how it works. For all I know We are thinking the same thing just not getting it across. I would love to post pics of my team(s) but the contract says that I cant use thier names, compaines, sponsors, etc. along with anything that contains my opinion. I still work on the cars but have taken a different path with my life and am in school for another career.
