I'm sure they can come up with something especially after how well they pulled it together to get you another turbo. They should sponsor you man for real. I'll be interested and for sure keep checking in to see how that comes along, btw when are you guys spraying the nitrous? Just in 5th and 6th? Yeah i'd love to come down that way Texas is on the places I think in the future I'd like to move so I'll have to do some recon and a little driving . Unforunitely I don't think my car will be quite ready by the next mile event. We'd need to switch when I start spraying, doing a haltech EMS and racepak dash like emma's car and most importantly we are at the mercy of the stock block, 900whp on spray I'm pushing it. Not sure what their reqs are for safety I'll look into it I don't plan on exceeding 199mph so I don't think I need a cage for the mile in texas which is a big factor for me. I probably would have crapped myself if I spun the tires into 5th LOL. Really your car is incredible man. |

I was able to offer parts up to several others to keep their weekend going and I guess the pay back was others doing so much to help our cause out.... One of the big things I love about this land speed racing... It isn't so much one car against another, it's a car against the speed trap.... As for nitrous... we spray mostly to spool the turbos a bit faster.... ahem, sort of.... We spray in 2nd, 3rd 4th and 5th... at WOT..... We don't shift into 6th.... If I run out of gear in 5th, it's time for new gears... If I shift into 6th and stand on it the trans would scatter all over the place... 1st - 5th are billet gears.... 6th is a factory gear... A friend has gone through several transmissions at the mile due to having billet gears in 1st - 4th only.... He'd run through the gears, shift into 5th and the trans would scatter so to speak... as soon as he would stand on it and he's around 850-900 rwhp... In the lower gears, there is still enough reduction to hold up, but in the overdrive gears, the trans has to be built or it will disassemble itself... At the speeds we are talking about, the exponential increase in wind resistance, rolling resistance and the power being thrown at it is brutal... If I could find a billet 6th gear I would own it.... If you come down this way, you have a place to stay if I'm not offshore.... We got room...

BTW, they sell oil-less turbos also that do not require an oil pump when the turbos hang down low. They have an internal wick that supplies lubrication kind of like the Prochargers and such. I just had some bad luck this past weekend. I was bracket racing in the state finals and on the semi-finals I was not able to continue. The dampner bolt came loose and the water pump was not turning and the car overheated during the quarter finals.

So how much longer before you get some turbos put on to this beast R? Or are you shopping for a system that will work with yours right now?
