I've played through the first two games each multiple times. I'm a huge nerd for it.

Drag racing is always a crap shoot. If you can't launch your times are going to stink. The 5.0 is actually really tough to get down the track because it's under tired. On the Brembo cars you have 255 width Pirellis all around that spin spin spin with just about every shift, so it's really easy to go slow with the car if you are too aggressive with your right foot.

The car needs at least a 275 width rear.

On a Dyno Dynamics heartbreaker to boot. I saw that a few days ago... pretty sweet.

It doesn't "need" heads but in this case the 507 whp car had cams + heads as part of a traditional N/A build.

Wait... do you mean like... need heads to make the 507 whp figure or need heads to... function?

I don't know about you, but I need head occasionally to properly function

Ah, gotcha.

They are stout, but if you're going to be swapping out the cams you might as well port 'n polish!
