I have a feeling that hp is grossly exaggerated.

http://car.race-cars.net/calculators/et_calculator.html

What do you think the car weighs? 2700#
200kph converts to 124mph 1 mph = 1.609 kph.

Plug those numbers in and it estimates 401hp to the ground which is far more believable for the ET he is running = 10.64@200kph. This falls in line with both Jefferies prediction and ours. I am not sure what Myers car weighed on the 9.93 run but you can estimate that as well. 2100# and 132mph.

To make 564 top the ground running 124 mph in the 1/4 it would have to weigh close to 3700# and looking at the pictures of the car there is just no way.

Still a impressive little ride no matter what it is making!

Hey Lou what were the weight and mph for Cameron Tilley in the 1/4?

Tom

Cameron's turbo car - best of 11.3@125mph and 32-3300lb race weight. Bicycle tires on the back, so lots of gas feathering down the track.

10.6 in a valiant is pretty awesome.

I cannot understand much of the website to the Valiant over in Sweden or Norway wherever it is...But it looks pretty cool.

the manifold looks pretty easy to duplicate.

I got lost trying to follow the plumbing though Where does the boost enter back into the engine off the turbo?

-Peter

It is in Finland...
Boost goes forward, into the intercooler, over to the passenger side, and a bit backwards, and over the valvecover, into the plenum thing (the "log" that feeds the carbs)

Here are a few more calculators that are fun to play around with.

Found the weight on his site and it converts to 2745# and ran 124mph in the 1/4. That is pretty impressive.
