i wouldnt event think about driving a 5 sec nitro funny car on the street.
question did you see the may 04 Hot Rod mag?? the "Hot Rod Pump Drags" rules were meat nhra saftey, DRIVE 30-50 MILES then run 3 passes on 15 gallons of 93. half of which will be burnt at the track the 50 fastest were pick and and bout half or less were low 9 sec cars some were even daily drivers the rest soildly in the 8s. some have a/c others its windows open.
as you said 'THe electronics in these cars allows them to run real tame on the street, then crank it up with the turn of a knob or flip of the switch.'
there are some classes that require evrything remain functional a/c included.
other reguire a 30-60minute cruise with police escort as a quailification, got to make it back to the track to race and they are running low 10 if not high 9s. street car/dailydriver would require at lest function window, lights, wipers, heater, power steering, maybe a/c depending location and decent milage.
my 79 malibu runs low 12s and get 20ish mpg i havent spent the money to replace the 26 year old a/c that was installed factory but everything else works including the original radio before i took it out. currently im working on changing the drivetrain to run in to the 10s and still get 20ish on pump if not more. most likely ill have to sets of tires dot drag and street for obvious reason.
as for exhaust im running 3 chambered flow on my bu and it louder than the almost straight pipes on my 84 1 ton p/u that i drive in jersey for the time being.
as for exhaust mods i tell them it so i run More effecient LESS smog. as for the truck it never came from the factory with mufflers or emissions out of state tag and millitary id helps out to....sometimes....
what do you run in your bird??? you runnig high 11 low 12s?
