I mute the announcers too, I just focus on the driving and therefore the announcers just seem to fade

If you are watching Speed Channel... yes... you rather mute the TV... I think we three can put a better show than those dudes...

But if you stream it online, the commentating from Sky or BBC are excellent.. no rubbish talk but lots of info and insight.

From all the builds I've seen this is easy to get with cam, throttlebody, overdrive pullies and tune. Soo far there have been no driveline failures even when drag slicks are used.
I am right around 650 at the crank, and that is assuming a 20% DT loss...

I won't see 600+ until I build the motor. That won't be until next winter.
