The tech is poorly understood by many and this accounts for the descrepencies in the modified / stock classes.
It is simple. Any modifications to the car puts it in the modified class.
Obviously you didn't really read the posts. It is pretty clear that you don't quite understand the root of our discontent. You also seem to be changing your opinion on the way Jon's car sounded. Funny that...
Did you drive it from Phoenix or did Dan deliver it to you? To me you car is nothing but a dealer special, a catalog entry. I expected it to take 1st or place high. It has Bling factor and the majority of the people there had no Idea that you simply bought it like that. Technicaly it is more "stock" than modified. Modified implies thought and work.. I heard the female half of your group (I am sorry but I don't know who is posting) comment that we were wasting our time detailing our cars because She was going to win. My issue with you isn't your car it was your wife/girlfriend most of all. I don't enjoy being talked down too. You bought everything you put on the pavement, including the detail, engineering and work that won the event. Then She talked crap about everyone around her that actualy worked on their cars and did the research to create them. You don't even understand the capabilities of your own car. You told me it would run low 11's. That Maggie (your Blower is a Magnison if you didn't know) is known to have serious problems with heat soak. After 1 run down the track it is so hot the HP levels drop near or below stock levels. 175 naked indeed. Did you put on tires rated to 175? It is a real good way to die if you have not. Oh well. I'm sure this is pointless by now. Search for information on the Maggie/magnacharger. Do a little poking around and use the site for the reasons it has been built. Learn a bit about the car and our little hobby. Some of what you bought is actualy nice. most of it not so nice. If you are happy with bling, enjoy your ride. If you really want to run 11's then pick up a Procharger and dump the maggie. there are a couple of good tuners down your way.
