I need a vote...still debating if I want to stay the N/A route or go a procharger deal..

I know what it will cost to do the procharger route..the motor needs a new set of rods in around 20 to 30 so passes..the rods were the only thing we re-used..so if I am going to change to blown deal now is the time to do it..

The car is going in the Chassis shop late January or Febuary for the 25.5 or 4..I want to put a racepak in it and I am changing the ignition and rewiring it also..

I have sorta put the motor on hold for doing anything to it until I decide what to do with it..I am in no big hurry..the chassis upgrade and other things are going to put me back for next season anyway...

I have also thought about not doing the 25.5 to the barracuda and start looking for a mustang coupe to put this motor in for Milan and other N/A races.

Too much to ponder!!!

Makes me remember why I became a bracket racer Good luck whichever way you go but the Procharger sounds like fun but I woudl think will require a 6.00 cert as the 7.50 cert probably wont win any races anymore, let alone two years from now.

I know what you mean about the 7.50..you can be pretty competative in drag radial at Milan at 7.50..I am not going to go crazy..just a F2 blowthru deal...

You and me both. I would like twin turbos, but will probably go with a Procharger.

boost is great. You don't need biig bumpy cams, huge stalls, tall gears. You can have your cake AND eat it. Boosted cars really roll. I have a buddy that had a stock storke 360 nothing fancy in a 68 Valiant He ran 10.80's on 8psi of boost. drove to the track and home. Same guy now has a worked turbo SB in a chasis omni running 9.0' at 160, w/ 3.73 gears.

I am not a huge fan of the turbo stuff..way to hard to get the launch technique down..

I love the fast N/A races..but the procharger stuff is growing on me fast...just bad azz power

My question is what are your intentions for the car? Do you want to run an organized, ruled, pound-per-cube class or just your own deal where you do what you want to go fast. If you are planning on getting away from Milan A/M and putting a ProCharger on are you going to try and run drag radial or something else? I think you should do what ever will make you happy.

Chris, I say go with the Procharger! As I think you are finding out it's hard to compete with the Mustangs with the older nostalgic body style. I'm looking for the right chassis be it a Mustang or whatever to go the Procharger route with my 430" R3/W8 turbo motor.
