.370 back to .400 Pro Tree

Hey Maverick, I run super Street, and I don't have a delay box, or a throttle stop, or electric operated shifter on my car because I refuse to be a monkey and let the electronics do the racing for me. I like the human element to be involved in my racing. I use a throttle limiter on the back of the carb linkage to try and run the number, so I'm under power all the way down the track. The only electronic device I have is a trans brake to be able to react to the tree. Call it old school, but at least I'M controlling my car, not the electronics. No offense meant towards the other racers, just my way of still reacting to the tree, manually shifting the car, and playing the finish line game. I pride myself on still running a fully suspended "Street Car" inspected, registered and insured by the way, in Super Street. Those of us using this type of set up, could really use the real.500 tree as we have a hard time hitting the. 470 tree. Again, those of you using a box can just push some numbers to slow down your reaction. We are limited on ways to speed the cars reaction to the .470 tree. If the rule book states .500 tree, then it should be a .500 tree, period! Again just my thoughts, take for what it's worth. Still love racing at the divisional, and limited national events, and will continue to do so as long as it's still fun.
