As for what Top Fuel/Funny cars use as some point of reference. Whenever you make an association like that, you fail to take into consideration that they are torn down between each 1/4 mile run and inspected and anything that needs replaced is.If that's tha kind of maintenance you wish to perform, then make sure you use all the pieces they do. You might also want to get a Sponsor, because the price will start adding up,quickly. I use Top Fuel/Funny car parts as reference for building a Top Fuel or Funny car,not a reliable street engine
What an assinine statement, there isn't anyone on this forum that hasn't used a race part on the street, or used a part because someone else reccomended it. If it wasn't for some form of advertising or reccomendation, most people wouldn't know which direction to turn. If only 1/4 milers are using the part, then I guess you'll have to replace the part every 1/4 mile, bull, my lifters have been in the car for 3-4000 miles, and never had to be adjusted after initial install. I've spent countless hours on the phone talking to different companies to gather the information I have. I fellow forum member asks for a reccomendation, and other forum members try to save him some time and money by passing on info they have gleaned through the years....then someone, who has nothing to contribute to this thread, comes up with the brilliant statement above.
