You cant build a race car without Duct-Tape.......Wire-Ties.........Silicone.......and epoxy its SOP!
Although the quicker a race car goes the less Duct-Tape/Wire-Ties you should use........just saying!!

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.

Perhaps we could make a spreadsheet to keep track of who has run what.

Why don't you start one, Billy?

Start a new thread with (only the Drag info on it) much like the Fastest Pontiac One and have Bart make it a sticky. Then you get rid of the BS and everyone can see where the racers are in the ET/MPH in relation to each other. Maybe even put in the time frame when they made the run. (Date).

To hard to get info out of these guys without drama

I think rex went 6.99

[S/st 54]

I think Krech has been 7.10
But the only thing I could find was a 7.155

Cool, I would love to see the weight of the cars and type of car.

Probably would never see that as then you could calculate the actual power the engine/power-train was putting to the ground and some would not like to have that comparison made. Then all that would be left would be the AERO Effect but that is a major contributor to how well the vehicle travels down the track.

Weight......look at the car........tube chassis, etc. a little common sense will go a long way (for those who know). I thinks whats more important is the weather .10 - .30 can be gained in weather conditions!

^^^ This George very simple, no b.s involved, no chit stirring. I love all the Pontiacs. How could I tell who has a tube chassis anyway. The weight tells the story. N/A most impressive to me.

Let's not dilute this thread with facts.

.......yes but that’
May not be all the facts.....! What if one car with the same 7.70ish ET runs the ET in 60 degree weather and the other does the same ET in 90 degree weather, which one is making more HP? You see what I mean! Weight isn’t everything, it’s just part of the equation.

Nah, weight pretty much is everything.
