Don't most all of those boosted cars have Hemis?

The "Original" car LOL. Only thing original to that car, from when the show started, is the roof and quarters.

Don't most all of those boosted cars have Hemis? Its trending.....Proline seems to be the key in equation....The 481X is a stout engine as well, but I think the Hemi has been scienced out a bit further and just flat out works better. If it were me, I would run a Noonan 4.9 Big Dog Hemi if I ran at that level.....But with either power plant, you have to put in the work and the testing and in spare parts...If you don't, your a Duck...These guys are capable of running well into the 3sec zone, and that comes with cost.

That is Marty Robins, and that car is not new...It has gone thru a lot of transformations and a wreck. I liked it as a procharged car, but they keep changing it to a screw blower car....I am surprised that they can't get it to run with a Procharger. 7 years ago it debuted.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyC3ZLpbA_oI would have bought the chassis setup for a procharger before they wrecked it the first time....Love that car!

There have been a few teams that went over to screw blowers for NPK this year. I think it comes down to what combos the class may favour at the time. It's one of the reasons Ryan Martin went over to a Procharger I believe.

Seems like a lot of the Procharger guys had issues keeping blowers together.

Pretty sure Swanstrom and Daddy Dave said it was from trying to spin them too fast.

Pretty sure Swanstrom and Daddy Dave said it was from trying to spin them too fast. Some guys just wanna get that last little bit, and believe it's hiding inside the blower. If 100% is ok, 110% must be even better, and 125% is even more so. BOOM!
