Do you think a large ci hemi turbo setup could be competitive if someone wanted to run that setup , or are we still to limited by the bore spacing?

Thanks



You don't need huge cubes with a turbo, it's all about keeping the heads on the block, lol.

IDK why people are getting excited about a certain class, defined by a ruleset to put butts in the seats, not being dominated by Mopar.

The top classes in drag racing, fuel and alky, have nothing but mopar based designs. In fact, literally nothing else has won in the fuel classes since one year in the 60's. None of the engines have much to do with anything from an OEM, just like every other "real" race class.

Still wondering why a hemi doesn't do well with a big load of nitrous? S/F.....Ken M

HEMI heads are NOT nitrous friendly, nor does that type motor have a good design for big cubes. They can flow big air, but NOT without boost to push it through there. In a big nitrous motor you need bore, not stroke. You also need as close to a flat top as you can get for a proper flame front, neither of which the HEMI has. The relatively small bore, huge knot to make compression and weight of said piston are all detriments. There is a REASON all the fastest nitrous cars on the planet run a wedge. And while the Sonny's "Chemi" rules the roost in big inch pro-stock, with it's flattened piston and chamber design, that design does NOT favor in the nitrous world........and it HAS been tried, several times.
