Look at this monster!! 139mm blower. supposedly this will make close to 3000hp, that is insane. The black Trans Am they are putting it in used to run a 123mm F3A procharger, this is a F3R, the biggest one they make.
With the 123mm, stock suspension, and drag radials. 3420lbs raceweight
[B]4.89@155 in the 1/8th![B]
They are looking to get into the 4.20s@160 this year with a major diet down to around 3000 even and another 300-400hp or so.

Got belt slip?

I can't even imagine driving that.

[mr.98gsx]

Holy cow! That thing could eat a baby!

[dynotune]

they'll run a gear or chain drive as long as class rules allow. Those blowers take over 200 HP to drive under full tilt boogey.

[Grr]

Yeah, thats what ive heard. this one is good for 4000cfm at full tilt, that is rediculous

LOL yeah, even though Eaton now makes a Eaton four lobe Roots type supercharger that has like 75% efficiency.

Ill put money it falls out of that peak efficiency in a hurry...... alot harder to get a heat exchanger on a eaton still vs a turbo.....

interesting none the less, i am just severely biased

I guess only time will tell. Its the supercharger they're putting on the new zr1 vette so i'd guess its pretty reliable.

[KA-T_240]

Probably cause a turbo vette would never happen from the factory. The supercharger setups they probably cost less then a turbo would for a vette.

Yet another reason 03/04 Cobra > *

[DrifterExtreme]

yeah because v8's can't spool turbo's for shit..... :icon_scratch:

[KA-T_240]

^Yup.

I think Austins T/A spools pretty damn good. Shit look at the monster on Gary's GN.
