Bill:

Turbos should be ok to ~30 degrees of tilt. I'd imagine you won't have much of an issue at that angle.

I was chatting with the owner of this car last night. He had the same concept in a 57' and built this vehicle. He said he has no problems whatsoever. His are mounted 30* , mine wil be about 20*.

I definitely like the way you have them oriented in there though.... looks hot

I thought it looked pretty good too. I got one side all welded up. Still need to add the w/g and start the other side. I'll have to move the inlet on the radiator now.

Not like i have daily driven a 700hp turbo car for 2 years, keep your personal assaults to yourself

Which car do you have that has 700 hp? I just can't recall it at this time.:icon_scratch:

[Grr]

serious? my gn made well into the 600s on pump gas all the time. And using simple math and dragstrip calculators put it in the 700hp area, and i never even turned it up at the strip. Now my T/A will make quite a bit more than 700hp, hopefully it will hook

[Christian]

Oh I see. Have any dyno sheets on the GN. Why wouldn't you turn it up at the strip? I'm just asking isn't that the point of going out there, to see what it can run?

[Grr]

everytime i went to the strip i was just out for a cruise and didnt want to break it. In fact ususally i didnt even have my scanner with and i just made some big change. I upped it to about 12psi in brainerd once but it was so damn hot out i didnt even want to run it, did 11.7@128 leaving off idle on my 1700 stall converter, 2.3 60'. When i ran 11.4@119 in sabin i was at 7-8psi and there was a 35mph headwind, 1.7x 60', it sucked that day

Bring the T.A prepared this year and let's see what it can do. I'm interested what a 700 hp car can do. Your talking flywheel hp right? Not trying to be a dick just dosen't add up to me and I'm not a rookie at this shit.

You are a stud Parker.

[Grr]

you bet, i plan on coming out this year a couple times, being its a stick and i dont wanna destroy the trans i dont expect it to be terribly fast. but all i have to do is idle down the track and get a timeslip to be faster than parker, so thats a plus!

[Christian]

Why even go then. Sounds like a waste of time to me. Let it rip and break some shit if you have to. Weed out the weak parts, come back stronger next time.

haha.... i was just checking your sarcsim radar... you have passed....

oh, and Gary... power parking FTW...

[Grr]

I guess cause i like to drive my car all the time, and not have it sitting there all busted to shit. I really could care less what it runs i just like to go because its fun. Aside from that i dont have a bar in it and will get booted out anyway, which would be a waste of money. It will get a bar then it will get pushed, in time

[Christian]

Sorry Bill. Carry on with your build thread.

That's alright, nothing new to post tonight anyways.

Meh...I am what I am. judge me when you meet me, and if you need a cold one on a hot day I am probably the best bet at the track. Welds... I have seen beautiful welds fail when ugly welds have held. Bill, I seriously give you a lot of credit for what you are doing and the speed that you are doing it. Even though I rib Matt, Dave and Bill, I have the utmost respect for what they have accomplished at a track where a lot of 10.5 warriors would have said hell no.
This is just a website to screw around and have fun, 95% of everything that is said here is inside jokes, lets all try to remember that.
It looks really good Bill. If you need anything yell.
