you cant do this on your own? i thought you were some badass turbo expert

Alumnium blocks displace heat faster, and they are lighter.

Iron is strong heavy and is cheep.

Dart Alum block 690 BBC, 1300hp + 800hp (250/250/300) shot, split that ****** in half (Under Kracker: I'm gonna split this room in half!)

Dart Iron block 740 BBC 1500hp + 1000hp (300/300/400) shot, bitch wants MORE!

Yeah, we ain't ------- around.

mid 7's on motor, 6.3-6.4's on the hose.

Ever mess with a Lenco 4 speed?

3 planetarys in a row, my last suggestion dropped .1 on the sixty and .15-.18 on the ET. Just juggliing the gearing sets I turned a solid 7.10 which could hit a 6.98-6.99 and hurt parts, into a solidly consistant 6.95 car.

Clutch never hooks in first gear, so the 1-2 gearing really matters on a nitrous IHRA Top Sportsman car.

250 hit on the launch, next 250 if she ain't hopping, then right before 1-2 gear change you hit the 300 button. Gotta keep the clutch slipping until mid second gear when the weights finally apply max force.

My 1.5L = 91 CID, the 740 / 8 = 92.5 CID per HOLE!
