Having been out with Doc and Tom on numerous occasions at the Dragon, I think this is a stretch, at best. My N/A is not modded to the extent that yours is, and I can still keep up - somewhat. I will loose them in the longer straights by several cars, maybe a hundred feet, but as soon as they hit even a slight turn, I am right back up there. Care to comment Doc??

The other thing I have heard nothing about is brakes. If you are talking drags, no reason to upgrade. But what helps me out most in the twisties is larger tires, upgraded brakes, and the 6 speed we all love so much. And let me tell you, I would rather have a brake upgrade than 5 or 10 hp any day of the week.....
