Most Drag Race Car efforts could be called "Money Funnels"
They just take your money and you never will see it again. Jeff V's deal being the exception.

That name comes from a Bronx Cop who taped a Picture of a Funnel on his son's 64 GTO race car in the 70s. His words and the name still fit many years later.

Just asking cause I have no idea about your car or class you run. Do you have electronics in your car? Delay box...?
I like the no electronics classes I feel you really have to be on your game to go rounds.
I love the southeast gasser guys too, old school stick shift racing. We are trying to get a track on Long Island if we do I want to build a gasser!

To the members of the board:

Why should I be only allowed to discuss Turbochargers, (according to one individual)?

I was racing in 1965, the other individual in 1972

I was doing Turbo Engines for Buick/Holley in 1976. The other individual did his first Street supercharger in 1992. I already had 16 years of GETTING PAID to do boosting work before the other individual started playing with a boosted engine.

Jimmy Keen and Elias Delatorre's Engines were originally built to use a Supercharger, Not a Turbocharger. Both won World Championships. Elias was one of the very first to use Turbos in Super Street Racing. Why do I have to stick to Turbochargers in my discussions on the board. Maybe the members can tell me why? Who made the other member GOD?

Tom,
That was 2 days ago.......you were posting on stuff you really don't know a whole lot about, you are a smart guy put seriously you don't know everything.....NO ONE does. I dont know squat about turbos so I don't reply on that subject......I also try to ask questions to learn (about turbos, etc., never to old to learn) maybe you could remember that. The sun will come up in the morning. Lets get back on Subject.

I have a delay box, when i run heads up I take it out, I also can foot brake it. Ive done a lot of racing in my 48 years. I think I was the FIRST Bracket Racer to win a Championship with a blower back in 1992. When I installed my first supercharger in the 80's everyone said it wouldn't work (bracket Racing) and that Im wasting my money. $1,300 for my first Supercharger a B &M 177 c.i. Street Charger universal model.......it bolted to a four barrel intake. They didn't make one for a Pontiac......me and K & D Performance (Allen Park, Michigan) did a lot of Fabricating.
