Yes, I remember. Remember that I had a cone filter on my car and that was all.. and you have a turbo'd swap? I'll run you again now and I'm still on the itty bitty stock turbo

Yeah, that was Chris from down in Bedford. I believe he ended up selling the car. Or was going to or something. His was going to be turbo at some point, but I don't think it is yet...

I thought the standard ricer excuse these days was "I'm set up for drifting, not for drag"...

I'm sure I'll love your turbo Honda too..

but then again, I'm sure you're taking a different approach than the average fi'd honda. Darrell has a quick Honda but my car has changed considerably since I ran him in my stock car, and you beat me, but considering I was bone stock.. and what I've got now (still on stock turbo), I think it will be a good race. I'm looking forward to slapping the bigger turbo on there, but I'll run you again either way with or without it... I think you'll be surprised.

But motor swap + nitrous + turbo.... hmm... we'll see
