"I drove the car to Las Vegas, raced it all weekend on spray, running high 15's, then drove home, refilled the bottle, drove to Redding the next weekend, raced it on spray.....
Went to the final round on both weekends and made it home with-out blowing-up the car or my wallet"

And HOW many bottles did that take?

I still haven't started a to build a slant 6 turbo but I hope to very soon. I do have 2 turbo projects that are running and prove how easy it is to get more power than a stock v8. The one is a 2.3 4 cylinder Mustang that has run in the 13.7s at 100 mph with very few mods. As long as it is tuned to avoid detonation it is very durable. There was a stock 340 Dart at the track last week and he was running 15's which I believe is pretty typical. I now have a Holset HY 35 turbo from a Dodge Cummins Diesel pickup on it and it is a lot faster now but haven't been to the track yet. I figure the 225 6 should flow at least as much as my 2.3 does so I don't think 300 hp at the crank would be difficult at all. The other is a Ford Ranger with a stock 350 Chevy engine. It ran 95 in the 1/4 before but since we have added a couple used $60 turbos and homeade headers and it ran 105 mph in the 1/4 and started blowing boost hoses off when we tried to turn the boost up. I only have $1k in it including buying truck already running. It used to be only the "experts" were able to build a turbo setup but not any more. I hope this doesn't come off as bragging or anything. I am just excited about how easy it is get big power from a small engine. Norm
