Remember,Casper has only made a couple passes.I think it will run much faster once it's problems are worked out.

This is the first I've heard about this, but we could probably be persuaded to have a best 2 out of 3 with Kurt's car, although I will admit that I don't know much about it. Where do I go to see it?

If you go to the W2W website its the twin turbo Camaro in their pictures, its the white full chasis car. That would be a long haul from Colorado to Bowling Green but it would make for some great races.

I need to speak with Kurt about it, but if he's competing in Pro Street, I will assume the car will run 6's in the near future. Sounds like fun to us.

Steve, the car is Mike Moran's old car Casper. The badging on it likely is still from Moran's days driving it. Here's a sneak peak. http://www.w2wpowertrain.com/images_...es/burnout.mpg

Talk about King of the Hill! This would be sweet, I'd put it in the schedule if both guys can agree to set something up.

Already asked Kurt about it. He said, "Casper wasn't really built to compete, but to test the limits of the LS1 turbo program." I bet Kurt might bring the car, but not sure if it'll run side-by-side with anyone. Believe he's had Mike Moran driving the car so far.

Every time I drive it shakes the tires! I think Mike is setting the shocks soft when I drive.
There has never been any consideration given to building boost fast on the starting line. We are using this car to test the limits of some of the special parts we make for the LS turbo package. Our goal is to keep our customers on the cutting edge of power with reasonable reliability.

Ben,
Deep down, you are a nos guy are heart! We currently don't have enough ring gap (.027) to run much past a 200 shot.

Yes it's true, I do love the nitrous. I try to love all power-adders alike, but the blowers really don't make any sense. You get no weight break and you're down on power to the turbo cars.
