Excellent times, No doubt at all what spray can do.
Mike Thermos told me one time, "I can make a 155 HP Briggs and Stratton engine using a five horsepower engine, just don't ask me how long the crank will be in the case." So how much was he blowing at it this time? Tom Vaught |
Congrats Robin that biotch is flyin!!!
|
Great job Robin!
|
Woof!
|
awesome run. Where was he racing? What does his car weigh? What nitrous jet? not hp, but jet?
Just wondering...I have read his issue of high performance poncho over and over and over again, definately the best issue they ever did....I was shocked they featured a "race" car, especially a nitrous car. Would love to know more about his combo |

Is 'pump gas' anything like 'street legal'?
Do they get their 'pump gas' at the same place they get their state emissions test? Love Robins car and really respect he and crews hard work but id like to see some truth in labeling LOL |
Who cares !! He's kicking @ss with a Pontiac heads up against the Ford and Chevy guys. All runing the same gas so no one can cry.

robin routinely jokes about his competition being real street, as they NEVER show up on the STREET scene, like the central cruise in phoenix, which is pic'ed below last weekend- as a local in tuscon, im sure youre aware... jim |
robin is big dude on left?
|
No that is Robin's friend. He is on the right.
Robert |
All 6'7" of him...big dude.
|
Stock suspension?
|
Definitely something to be proud of.
Also something to aspire to run. |

I see a few CV-1 combinations running in the 7's by this time next year.

Amazing performance!
I remember Robin saying something about the car not being legal in AZ, hence the Kansas tags. But that has nothing to do with the brand of fuel, heads, pistons, etc. |

By the way congratualations to Robin on his new best. I sure hope he can get in the 7s. Robert |

I know Robin does his own heads, but I would love to see what your heads would do on his car. Robert |
I think we all would.
|
good job Robin.. nice pass... I think Brian is going to go with nitrous instead of that F2 pro charger!LOL
|
man those f2 deals make some serious e.t....My budget forces me to be a nitrous guy, but i would love a procharger.
|
if i had 400 cfm heads and a f3r, i know i could make 1700 to the ground. Would be an easy 4.70-4.80 ride at 3500 lbs.
|
That would be on an easy tune-up! haha

Way to go Robin - congrats on your awesome performance!
Oh, and Gach.......while the CV-1's may be fine heads, they didn't just pick up three tenths on their own, after being on the car all season. It's all in the tuning and Robin is a tuner. |

are you implying that it couldnt be done? We have a 580 chevy with out of the box dart heads and a single victor intake with a csu dommy blow thru and we have made 1700+ to the tires, and on a relativaly easy tune up. |
No, i'm implying that would be with an easy tune up...
And I bet with your chevy motor it would make more power if you took some stroke away from it... |
Congrats to Robin and Crew. That SoB hauls!!!

Thank you for the support!
I will answer some questions: The car has not been apart or changed in any great manner in 2 years. This combo made more power, the setup in the car could not take it! At first I needed to get the ancillary parts right (converter, gears, carb, etc.) then go to work on the tweaks (nitrous ratios, shock settings, chassis settings, etc.) and this engine now has over 60 trouble free passes. The last year of tuning I have not changed a nitrous jet. I have added a Digital 7, Sportsman Racepak and the like to help understand the car. Sorry fellas, the only video I have from Saturday night is of my rear tires where I learned how to make it 1.23 to the 60 without wheelstanding. A ton of hard work and new knowledge, very little hardware!! In fact, no engine hardware. So many have contributed to that knowledge I would need a page just to thank everyone but the shortlist includes Bill Anderson, Jim Roland, Kelly Blubaugh and Langer. The D.A. was 2,400! Put me at sea level on a cool East Coast night and we have a solid 7! Understand I did not remove or disable a single part that was on it when I spent 3 hours cruising Central the week before or had on it at Norwalk: Big fans, 100A alternator....... I feel proud that it is a Pontiac kicking "their" collective tails but I am most proud that it is a REAL street car whacking real race cars in classes calling for but not mandating street cars! A topic for a different day...... Keep the Faith!!! |
SWEET!!
