I really like turbo's, got any engine pics and info on the combo....How tough is it to spool, and what kind of boost do you build to launch it, what are 60ft times? I want to do one of those or a procharger some day.

In bracket racing, NA is king of reaction times. My worst light this weekend was a .016 somthing...Still lost in the third round. My 60fts were almost all the same this weekend 1.37...

50 hp worth of nitrous helps spool quite a bit.

Nice, give em hell.

I find it a bit amusing at the lack of replies since you openly street race, (makes you a bad guy) and drive a unpopular mopar body style and alot of time just got grief over some of your posts here for it but you could hand most racers here there ass on the street or track.

My street racer will only pull mid 9-s so I couldnt touch your ride and a turbo seems so much smoother then spray and although a bit of a ego hit knowing this I dont know anyone whos not silently thinking "This guy is doing good".

Since you street race and the grief you have gotten in the past, id not expect you to post all the details of your build.

I think the mods should remove the "Lost mancard" bs and replace it with "Faster Then Most" smile

True - easier on the internal parts, and fewer of those annoying loud-noise-followed-by-fireball events.

All engine types can fail when you are trying to go like a bat outs hell. I would like to see some 10.5's under that thing!

I’ve ran 28x10.5 stiffs on the street. I’m not a fan of how they drive, and I drive this thing a lot. They do hook way better on the street. 99% of the classes I run require a dot radial. Pulling timing on the street helps hook the radials tho.

I’m hoping to test some 26” radials and see what those are all about.

"Turbo" or "centrifugal supercharger"?

Biggest problem I see for going turbo is every time you ask someone a question the first thing out of their mouth is "what's your goals"! I guess that sounds intelligent to them. My goal, put a ballpark turbo on it and work from there.

IME "goal" means "do you understand that twin 88mm on your 318 is rilly, like, stoopid?"

I love to see a pic and the details of his combo, seems well thought out.

On a bit different note I posted a while back they were working on getting a cheap china kit under a grand and they have.

No one would ever expect mind blowing performance from this and really im not sure id run a fast car with it with all that could go wrong with the cheap spinners, but it would be a fun street setup to play with.
