Doesnt matter..... when you look at the time slip...
does it say... turbo, spray, n/a.... nope... if you
are bragging about the ET you wipout the time slip
and it shows the numbers... nothing about the build
Unless you happen to be the type who runs No Clock.  
Then its pretty hard to brag... cause those guys dont
like saying any times

There's no way mine would ever weigh as much as it does - and go as quick as it does - while still having perfect street manners, cold AC and power steering.... without the boost added to it.
I don't know why people even argue about it. You can have your cake and eat it w/ boost. I guess they like those old ash lumpity bumpity cams, 12:1 compression, high stall converters and pegging the rpms at 60mph.

I like some rump rump of the cam but not 12.1 comp on the street. Mine is 10.6. I guess thats what happens when you grow up in the 60's and 70's.  Ron

I'm not going to knock anyone's fast ride, but IMO power adder cars are not very impressive. Get there however you want, I'll do mine n/a.
Just don't look down on the person who shooses that path.

Its' matter of personal preference and what a guy relates to. I like ProStock, NA, high tech. So I have stuck pretty much to NA, but I did go to M5 fuel. I love the smell of Nitro in the morning! Smells just like teargas when it burns, cause it is  did you know that with enough fumes getting to your eyes, you tear up so bad the sting goes away? Drivings a bit blurry, but he!! the ride is a bit more fun!!

Ron just turn your idle down to 700 it will shimmy and shake then...lol I like mine to be smooth and quiet until I go WOT. Not that my current car is anything like that. and I too grew up ..well I was born in the 60's and grew up in the late 70's When you guys were running around in your jacked up, side pipe clad, Cragar wheeled iron.
