Ain't that the truth lol. I lost my passport a couple years ago after a crazy time in Vegas and got sent to the nearest Canadian Consulate which was in SanFrancisco.

When your living in a place where e85 is not an option the choice to switch to turbo is pretty easy. I did enough with the TVS to say its had its day on my car.

Bluelightning

Heard that. Wish I had more luck with mine. My only highlights were running a 12.8@112 and keeping up with the infamous Infraredline lol.

You sold yours?

It wasn't very good. I had a set of 255/60-16 MT drag radials. Crazy heavy and tall. That 12.8 was still only with a 2.0 60ft.

Not yet, already have the turbo setup sitting in my shop. Waiting on block to get back from machine shop. After running a 2.5 pulley for two years I figured if I'm going to build the engine I might as well take the "easy way out" and go turbo. I can run a small 252et turbo and get numbers I could only dream of on the TVS on pump gas.

This is one spot I'm going to disagree with you on. A friend of mine has a family shop that builds dragsters, runs a 5.6 in the quarter 26x something. Old setup was with a blower and was at about 3800 HP new motor with twin turbo's is making over 4k

meaning top fuel andrew

Supercharger's still winning more? I know a 4,800hp dragster on a SC

Front mount prochargers and turbos are dominating the 1/4 competition for the mustang crowd currently

I know a guy with a nova making 1700wheel on his dart big block dual f2 prochargers

S/C really only wins for nhra since thats all they run their 8000 hp engines on

Legion

Turbo's not bad, I'm not knockin it, I just can't wait, what can I say?

(Though I'm waiting an aweful long time to convert the car to a larger supercharger... meh)

well when they can compete with top fuel then they will be doing something

armcclure

iTrader: (2)

The only reason top fuel runs blowers is because their runs are short that can't afford a millisecond of spool.
Nothin beats the instant power of a blower (except maybe spray). But they'd have to pull a trailer just to hold a big enough bottle lol

mrbelvedere

iTrader: (3)

there are more reasons then that

InfraRedline

We all drive 3,000hp top fuel cars so all of this is relevant to the topic of this thread right? Just busting some *****.

Legion

I sorta would if I could strap this engine to my bike...

mrbelvedere

iTrader: (3)

its actualy 8000 and I drive 3 of them at once lol

Flatgod

I thought the reason top fuel cannot run turbo it's because to much debris flies out the exhaust during a run.
