Default GALE BANKS VIDEOS ON BOOSTING

Gale Banks on supercharged engines.

Gale Banks (a friend of mine) has put out 5 FUN Videos on how they build a Supercharged Monster Truck.

Here are the links to the videos.
This is all fun entertainment while still related to Boosting.
Gale knows quite a bit more about Boosting Supercharged Engines than anyone on our PY Forum (as he has done it longer than most viewers have been alive).

All of Banks Stuff is first class. Bonneville, Pikes Peak, Special Ops Boats,
Jay Leno vehicles, etc.
EVERYTHING HE GETS INVOLVED IN. (And he has the money to do it.)

Don't get mad if I post a few video links too.

I had an opportunity to see this Trans Am race twice at two locations.
Once on Mrs Harcutt's driveway (outside of Barstow, California) and later
at the Bonneville Salt Flats. The engine made 2200 hp with a 7.5L engine.

There was another 13 pounds of boost left in the Turbo(s) capability.

Banks does everything first class when he takes on a project.

About a hundred mile per hour faster than GTO George runs down the track 287 mph.
Course, just to get on the Big Boys Track at Bonneville you have to run at least 200 mph. So how many Pontiac guys total have run 200 mph in anything?
Would assume less than 10 cars total in Pontiac History. KRE would have the number, I suppose.

A True Pontiac Engine, built right, should have the ability to run that same MPH with the same 7.5L engine size and boost at Bonneville with a Bob and Frank Block.

Mickey Thompson is the last Pontiac Guy to do anything there.
Where are the Bonneville Racers? John Clegg has run there but he runs a chebby engine like Banks.

Deal, if you do not reply to my posts, simple really George.
Notice in this reply you used my name, as the first word. .

Piss off George unless you follow the same rules as you propose.

Course that will never happen. By the Way There are millions of Georges out there and there are lots of handles on websites.
You don't own your handle.

Tom V.
