Car Model:
The duster weighs 2825# with driver. It has a 727 with trans brake 9" converter. It has a 4.30 ultra light ring and pinion and spool. Gun drilled 35 spline moser axles. Aerospace disk brakes on all four corners. The engine is a 225 with a stock cam. It has a 70mm t-4 turbo and a aluminum hand built intake with a 825 demon blow through carb. It also has a fogger nos system and a huge inner cooler. Last but not least it has a hand built 304 stainless turbo header 6 into 1 into a t-4 turbo flange.
The suspension is leafspring cal-trac with double adjustable coil over. The tires are 325-50-15 m/t drag radial so we will have no traction problems. We will start tuning this spring. We also use a digital 7 with boost control. I believe keeping detination out of the engine is going to be the key to making it work.

This engine is not my good engine with all the good stuff and the good head. This the engine I am offering up to the Gods of speed. The turbo and the nitrous do not really mind poopy cams and heads. They seem to make up the difference. The engine does have arp head studs and other good fasteners.

With a snail and a hose you may want to put a diaper on the motor so you don't offer up some bodywork to the God of Wall. :shock:

Which ever way you want it to go boom. Rev it to 7500 with 31 Lbs of boost or go EASY on it and rev to 6500 with a 150 shot of nitrous will get you to the minimum high 6 number. It might actually make it all the way down the track with lots of nitrous vs the death rpm. I saw something where you could do up to half of the hp your making in added nitrous--safely. I say go easy on the revs (5000rpm) and dump 350hp shot of juice at it. Now that would be a good daily driver :twisted: I'd need a diaper too if I were driving it.

I've seen a lot of guys crying about having to run diapers on their S/Pro cars, but I have also seen guys save what would have been real bad wrecks because they had one. :shock:
