i dont know off the top of my head.... but i know he took everything off and paid to get a new head back on... returned it to stock with a 50k warranty then two weeks after he sold it ... bam ejecto pistono. lol that block went through hell.... 25psi of boost and nitrous .... then when back in stock form said F this im out....

what kinda turbo is in the srt-4? know what hes got for engine mods? just ask out of curiosity, ill be building mine over the winter and 450whp is all i want.

I honsetly dont know how reliable the setup was, but as i stated before, the ONLY things that were done to that car was a MBC set to 25ish on the STOCK turbo, some sort of exhaust dump, and a 75 shot. I cant remember if the big frount mount was on it or not when he did the pulls.

The car is in this video alot, along with others

aahh, that would explain the engine failure. that would be like running a stock ct-26 @ 20-21 psi.

There's always gong to be bizarre outcomes to racing every now and again, i have no idea why this bothers anyone. I once saw a Volkswagen beetle with nitrous win all events he entered at a local drag meet many years ago against some extremely tough cars, and we all laughed and enjoyed the entertainment.
The only fail is the owner of the supra that raced a car that had only just been modified and not properly tuned/setup, way to go dumbass.

The reason VW beetles win with such ease at the drags is weight. Power to weight.

Just don't try and turn corners with them or anything like that.

 

[Poodles]

Not only that, but the location of said weight means they get great traction.

Even if a neon runs 8s they are still gey

Yet another person with NFI :icon_roll

We have a few bugs at our local track that run 11's and they yank the tires way up in the air! One of them runs low 10's. The low 10 sec bug weighs under 2000 with driver!

Ya, and then there is THIS:

This is the gas cap...

...that feeds the blown 355 small block...

...which turns the monstrous 10-inch wide American five-spoke wheels...

...in the fully battle ready...

...midengined 1962 chop top Bus...

...that Ken Prather built.

 

[upgradedsupra]

Yeah, but does it runs 10's? :joshers:

 

[wiseco7mgt]

Hahaha i love that bus, that's nuts. For some reason v8 owners get really sore after losing to a bug, my old bug i built many years ago was light enough for me to lift the front end off the ground and with a couple of mates we could lift the rear off the ground as well. one day i'll build another one with a subie motor.

 

[GrimJack]

Yeah, but does it runs 10's? :joshers:

I'd be rather surprised if it doesn't. It's rare that hot rod guys put in a full rollcage and a chute unless they expect to need it, and that thing was purpose built for the drag strip.

 

[upgradedsupra]

lol Maybe so!
