Default Anyone know the details on Hinsen's twin turbo RX7 combo?

After seeing the pump gas drags and drag week 2006, I was curious if anyone know any details on the setup on Hinsens RX7.

That thing went 8.20 in that..and looks to have 7.9x potential....very impressive. Anyone have any info to share on it?

The car was very cool to watch. I would bet on 7 second time slips this year from the RX7.

I've seen the website, just never seen any details of the motor/turbo setup on whats in the car, even in generics.


I just signed up friday for 07 dragweek.... Was the RX7 in street race small block power adder or unlimited/prostreet? I am assuming the higher classes singe you won the SR/SBPA class unless he didnt get a good pass in from the problems it appears he had with broken wheels etc..

I am in the SR/SBpoweradder class and trying to see what im up against.
Im going with a 90 lx stang with a 403" LS1 /w a single turbo

Sounds like we'll be running in the same class. You ain't got nuthin to worry about.
You should get the long haul award. DAMN!

Hinsen's car had to run in Pro Street or something like that cause it is not stock suspended. Only thing I can remeber about his setup was that he was running a stock intake, twins, Glide, and a big radial. The car is fairly light.
If anyone talks to them. Tell him I still want my wideband o2 back.

He was in Pro street last year. Not sure how the new rules work, but I think he will be in SR/small block power adder. This year a modified rear suspension puts you in Street Race as long as you still run a small tire. Mike would still be in the normal SBPA.
