what has been the fastest anyones been

[John Wilde]

it is a single.......just not toatally sure what it may be blowing into yet :biggrin:

I am guessing the 400ci motor you built.
Don't go with a knife to a gun fight!

Swede is your turbo an 80 or 88MM?
Bill was using a full Thumper 98MM.
The current school of thought is to run a big enough
single to run with the high HP twin cars you need a clutch.
Maybe this will be proved wrong by a couple maximum effort GT47 powered cars.
But then again there are people using twin GT42 that will make much more power than a 88MM turbo and they can spool them.

It's only 80, but if we have a godd and light chassie we don't need as much hp's as Bill had for the 7.25 run.

Your record is safe, everyone is building twins now.

Yep, true!!! :biggrin:

Wastegates are homemade.

Ken Duttweiler 6.92@206 (?) in Tennesse

Saw Ken run that at the first big Buick meet held there years ago. That was in a full bodied car, when he went head to head against Conely's TT468BBC Tweaked II. Ken won. Conely ran a 6.9x@205, but was still sorting out the new car.

I don't know if that car even went faster than 204.X with the v6.
LC had more than 170ci on Kenny with that motor that was a 448ci.
LC got that car down to 6.5s at around 215ish.

John,

No Sir, they are 68 in and 73 out.

The Y2K is a single turbo but we will build with the twins.

Wastegates are 50mm or 2 inch.
