My car i lighter, and the horsepower is about the same. Iam pretty sure he will take me off the line, but then I think I should catch upp. <BR>I'll let you know how I did tomorrow

It should be a good race. That thing is ganna SHOOT off the line with the 4 wheel drive. But it has about 180 HP so you should be able to catch him if you get a good launch. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

you should beat him either way...they are high 15 sec cars in the 1/4 mile. David's K8 powered MX-3 ran 16.0.

I walked one by a carlength from 30-110 with the K8. Would have raced from a stop but he fell asleep at the light, and I jumped out ahead before he realized it was green. My RT: .600. His RT: 1.600 :lol: :p<P>The KL should stomp it. Lighter, shorter gearing, same power, less drivetrain loss
