In certain cases it's close enough to a real test. Not everyone has access to a track or drag strip, so I dont see a problem with a open interstate as long as you aren't swerving in an out of traffic. :shrug:Quote:

im not going to complain here, people i've spoken to who have this swap really like it...from what i am hearing from you is that you seem to be worried about reliability and it doesnt sound like you are planning on building a motor...which in that case the dc5r swap is the most you can get out of a straight stock swap, and its 80 more hp than the k20a3 and has better gearing, 6 spd, and a factory LSD...frankly people think its a waste of money but for people who want a straight swap that they'll throw i/h/e on, you cant do better...Quote:

its still the street, its much more dangerous, there are other people around, there are more obstacles around that will kill you, whether thats a light post, or a ditch, etc...its negligentQuote:

All in all I see nothing wrong with doing it in an area you are familiar with, doing it w/o any one else on the highway and just doing a 60-110 pull or something along those lines. To me thats no more dangerous than doing it anywhere else.
i mean that makes sense, but i still do not condone street racing in any shape or form for any reason or logical explanation...there are a lot more factors on the street than on a track/strip...Quote:
