They are few and far between, for whatever reason generating boost at low RPM seems to be difficult from what I have been told. Dave Hance's Chevy is a nice looking car, but they still have alot to sort out with their car from what I have read.
Brad Personette seems to be on top of his, but unlike Hance he is running a clutch.

I'm 99% sure the 53 vette has a wedge headed engine, not the Hemi.
One day I will have something cool here.

I know hance has a Hemi in his, I thought I read someone thought the R2B2 53 vette has a hemi and it does not. Just wanted to clarify the fastest turbo pro-mod is wedge headed and is an automatic trans, not a Hemi with a clutch. But yes the Hemis are still bad to the bone. Back on topic. sorry

actually the engine in the 53 vette Melani drives is a 481X. (which is a wedge design like a big chief) If she was in a 57 chevy this weekend i have no idea about it but i would guess the engine to be the one out of the vette.
