Mike8675309 said:Not completely up on turbo tech, it seems to me that is a very drag only sized turbo. I would think too much turbo lag for it to be much use on a road course or even a street.
pro street rich said:There are at least FIVE big block S.C.'s that I know of that are all doing 10.0's now. There is even a guy around here that has been running 8.90's on the juice... He runs on the local circuit and to even get into that game you must run low 9's just to make the feild.... And yes, Stan does put that bad boy on the street when the $$$ is right....
If you think that this may not be true, Tim has seen at least one of these 10.0 cars run at the Grove... Jump in here if you want Tim to help out on this...
Now don't get me wrong here, Dave N. will have one BAD bird when it is done, trouble is that there is always someone who is going to go faster no matter what you build.........Rich
dirtybird91 said:I seriously think that David N's car will be capable of 1000HP IF he is willing to turn up the boost! HP could easily mate a turbo up to his radical setup that was up to the task.
I seriously don't know if his engine could handle that sort of boost, but maybe he will enlighten us. I do know that the engine was designed with low compression which is great for power adders.
Even if the engine is up to the task, David N. hates the thought of breaking things. What I am trying to say, is "I don't know if he is designing the car for this type of duty".
David Neibert said:Frank,
The engine is built to handle 1500 hp without breaking stuff....To reach my goal of 800 rwhp I'm going to have to make about 1000 hp at the crank, which is what most of the mods are sized at or built to support.
99% of the time the car will be running on 93 octane pump gas and I'm hoping to make around 600 rwhp on it, which will be more than enough for the street and track.
The high boost race gas stuff will only happen on special occasions at the track, like the Shootout. On the street I would wreck it with that much power.

It's still safe to assume that you will be #1 on shootout day if this thing is close to your goals.
