Russ could tune a wheel barrow and Melissa could drive a dump truck into the 9s. Don't give them any ideas!  More tricks in that car than Hudini could think of BUT not many would ever notice. No pro mod there, just a well thought out combination. Probably would have went a few rounds in TSM and they weren't even prepared. Great weekend either way. Hey Dan are ya ready for next year??? Maybe a Mazda in TAI:045:

Dan, I see the cam that Russ listed is not extremely wild.  Do you have any idea to a ball park rpm that Melissa is launching at.  I am assuming it is critical to get that size of turbo to start spooling is as much rpm as heat?

Russ's way....comes out with boost. Dan's ...running 11s years ago it was rpm with a stock motor.  Yes he wants the heat.. has a blanket on the turbo.

I'd like to. I should know shortly. Every time I go down there I wish I had the car. Just put all the cars away yesterday.

Is there under hood pics somewhere so we can pretend to figure out what makes this magic?

I'm intrigued but understand if that's not something he'll let out.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Really doesn't look like much really. Especially with a stock location intercooler. .People were looking it over pretty good in BG. If someone asked about anything he would be proud to tell em what he is trying to do.

I have a little better understanding of what approach he's got figured out. 

Gotta wonder how much alky it uses in a typical pass. :mwha:

Thats my only job now. I top it off after a run. Have a gal jug.  I don't think it's that much. Car has 3 nozzles 15/10/5.

Dan, is the alky pump the standard pump or has the pressure been increased even more over the one that comes with the kit?

Standard pump. We have Julio's tester. Replace every other year normally. BUT we do have a spare if we can see the pump screwing up.
