I hear ya, I wouldn't go bigger, either. Powerband suffers hard and reliability goes from OK to bad. Ever been out to the track with it? I'd imagine that around 700whp you'd trap 135ish pretty easily.
My last car might be more your style -

Love the turbo mazdas I know a few guys who have big singles on them pretty darn fast
Its hard keeping those apex seals in em for long with a big single and high boost
went drag racing a few times on a road racing suspension and R compound road racing tires it ran a 11.1 @ 133 I really like road courses and the twisties thats what its really set up for

In this company, I guess I have to say I have the "little brother" turbo.

My RX-7 didn't have a rotary for the reasons you mentioned above. haha. I've had 2 LSx swapped RX-7's.
I agree, I like to turn, but I like to see drag strip trap speed, too. I haven't run the z06 on kill yet, but it should trap about 135mph.

Hocky,
Wheel to wheel as well as just DE stuff, but when you get to the top classes in the DE world you know the guys you are out there with SO WELL that you are really racing them but just no passing w/o a point by... sometimes if we get a good run on a friend we might pass them anyway, but only if we are SURE it is safe. Anything goes in the wheel to wheel combat but not rubbing in the Porsche Club racing!
Ward, that looks VERY FAMILIAR to me! I have two of them... MP5 A3 and the MP5SD A2 pictured. LOVE'EM!

Since we are talking snails...
Here is the pass. side on the motor (drivers side is same, just clocked differently);
And just for reference

Do you have a Class III license or did you get the tax stamp and purchase through a local dealer?
Larry that's a big top end for a mediocre et, it's safe to assume your 60' times weren't to impressive (given your turbo, gearing and traction). Regardless, big trap speed is an indication of serious HP !
the old adage in the world of drag racing is ....'torque off the line, HP through the traps' !

awesome yard trumpet. i wonder, how do your koi's survive winter?
My biggest hobby outside of A/V is photography. It has been a lifelong hobby, but just in the last few years I have begun to embrace the digital revolution. Attached below are a few examples. The first two are ones my friend is considering using on the cover of his next CD. The next one is a local mill that has been refurbished into an arts center. The last two are some macro shots. You have to be pretty brave (or stupid) to intentionally get that close to a wasp.

The Koi go into a sort of hibernation. The pond is 11 feet deep at its deepest point so there is no danger of ice getting to them. Here is a pic of some of the herd.
