Default Re: auto cross turbo or supercharger

as always i agree.

i had a very small turbo on 8 and 10 psi last season and i enjoyed what it brought to the table. Be careful with power adders as they can quickly change your race class.

next season and from now on out i will be running all motor. possible 1cam build to keep within specs. its all about maintaining speed and enertia through every turn and linking them together. a bunch of the beach vette club guys that come out with their built motor early model vettes that still have facory suspension components take the corners slow and spin tires a good bit down the straights. when i ran stock single cam in my 93 i did much better than the higher hp guys because i concentrated on keeping flow and not relying on the power i didnt have. you will find that power is not always the key, especially when you cannot put it to the ground in an effective manner. FWD with excess power will push out in corners killing your times.

Have you run the car all motor at the track? you will be pleasently suprised
