it does spin the wheels
the world rally cars use them so you know theyre not a bad thing
just cause its got 50/50 dont mean it will understeer it depends on getting the diffs, roll bars and suspension spot on

good times

that day the datron was on the car it did 0-60 in 3.017 first run...wasnt running quite right....then i sussed out i had the nos system armed but the bottle wasnt open....so a slight over fuelling problem did 2.94 with the gas on...was only running 25bhp jets that day as we had just started dabbling with the gas..so would have given say approx anothe 50bhp on that engine, so about 575bhp it ran 10.8 1/4 that day at 136 mph IIRC

but yes you are right when it was runing lowish/mid 10s it was prob around 675bhp but unfortunatley never got a chance of having timing gear strapped on when it was at that level
