Sure, but how long to get up to that boost? If they're the last to stage and the starter is quick, they make get left at the starting line. The video made it look like a long spool time. Strong car though. Lots of power for sure. :hail:

No doubt it takes a while to build boost. In the vid he was running solo and most likely cared less about his reaction time. I have seen this car in person many times and use to race him back when i had my LS1. In a race situation you would see him building boost a lot sooner. Tim is a good driver though and definately has some guts pedaling that thing down the track and staying in it.
By the way Tim, dont be scared of my pillar gauge!

He can build to 26lbs almost instantly....there was nobody next to him so he was just taking it easy on the old girl....

Flaco 03-03-2009 06:02 PM

it would of been a good run, sorry to hear about the turbo though...we can line them up next time were out there:chug:

Very nice. Alright Flaco, when do you put the new number out of reach for others? :secret2: I'm trying to get the shop I work for to build a truck to your level to compete, but it's going to take a bit to get stuff in line. The Buick I agree took a bit to spool, but didn't sound like he tried to load it too hard. As soon as he released the brake it made power almost instantly. What turbo is he running?

the snow the otehr day...
