[and a lightly modded 3400 wont beat a supercharged 3800. we need mods to beat a NA 3800
I never said I could beat a S/C3800, I said I could beat a N/A 3800, and so should your car. Most cars running the 3800 are heavy pigs with bad shift programming. It is not until you get something like DHP that a 3800 powered car can really open up.

A friend of mine with a 1998 GP GT (3800N/A) used to lose to me all the time at the track (close, but I would win). Once he installed the DHP, he took off roughly .4 seconds on his quarter mile times just by being able to shift at the actual redline.....I could no longer beat him after that.
