It's not the 34 psi bit I have a problem with, I have a good idea how much money it costs to run a reliable
10 second quarter in a car, pretty sure that time and the trap speed (+130 mph) necessitates a parachute,
a reliable drive line, well set up suspension and really good rubber....

Most vl's in 10's run stuffed rear shock standard rear springs (sometimes country pack ) and 90/10's with stock front springs or lows couldnt get more budget than that. Most run ET streets. you can easily fit 15inch 26x10 slick under a vl with standard springs untubbed.
To further this point there a quite a few VL's that have run 9's in full street trim with leather interiors and 19/20 inch rims with street tyres. Rajabs harlequin Calais comes to mind ran a 9.8 in that setup like 6 or 7 years ago
Most of the time reliability is all in tune big boost high HP doesnt kill motors....
Here's another manual vl running stock bottom end and stock r33 5spd 10.45 @134mph 385rwkw on pump fuel dont say stock motors arent any good
