Poll is up...

Try to keep comments in this thread, though.

IIRC BB is about the same weight as Payback. Payback is putting down more torque and has a tire advantage and that should be considered.

BB is also still going through growing pains that haven't been ironed out yet and Payback is balanced and has been tweaked to satisfaction.

My money is on Payback.

Cris.... what is the dry weight of BB and how much Torque at what RPM does that LS7 make ?

Also what gear ratios (trans and rear) are you guys running?

Last minute airfare is brutal.... I looked into it

Although Gonzo didn't list his weight, I have to assume with all the carbon fiber, and the LS7, Gonzo will be a couple hundred pounds lighter.

Horsepower is close, Todd has had a little more tuning time, but is stuck with the really high first gear.

HMMM, as much as I love big blocks, I think the LS7 will be too hard to over come.

I think Todd has the weight advantage actually...
Even with the all aluminum big block, I'm surprised that it weighs 3560. I might have to stop making fat jokes about your car Todd. It probably has enough weight watchers points to be able to eat a cream puff this weekend

the disadvantage i see is that mary has help tune out blu as opposed to never even sat in payback.

chis added so much awesome billet parts and a fancy interior that he canceled out all the CF.
i LOVE! blu balz but todd my boy so im always gonna go for todd... plus if he loses we can just blame it on the carb not being adjusted for that weather!lol

The square root of speed is the amount of broken parts divided by expendable income, multiplied by hours worked. The sum of that is inverted by the smile on Todd's face when he kicks Blu Balz ass

I will add that if Tracky attended this event........... he'd woop all of you all

Steve Rupp just told me--that whoever the winner of these two ends up being, they will have to deal with him, then Hollywood said whoever wins that round will have to deal with him, then Finch said he will deal with winner of that one, then Greg Weld said he will buy the winning car. Investing 401, discretionary income beats winning.
