My 91mm turbo kit
get a better camera man. That video was crap. Maybe get halfway down the track in the stands and video the runs. Then we can see the times and traps. Great car. I am impressed with the fab work. Good luck tonight if you get there.

Wanted a turbo blanket but I am low on funds after finishing the build. I found this material that we discontinued at work. We used it on the normalizing furnaces which we run over 1700F so I know it will workk. It was A bitch making the template while the turbo was installed. it was even harder to install. I will make a better one over the winter when the turbo is out. This will work for now and the materail seems to work great. The real test will come at the track but right now I brought the cat up to temperature and there was NO heat radiating through the blanket. I need to look up the material specifications. It is a multi layer cloth with a rubber like coating. I painted it with high temp black paint but it doesn't seem to adhere very well.

See how close the turbine is to the balancer? A regular blanket will not work. I feel NO heat coming through this material. It may look thin but it is incredibly dense

Ray. Craig isn't pleased still. He says hike up the panties and turn the boost up. He'll buy the box of Depends when you do decide to give it hell. 
Wish I could have been there tonight. Damn weddings.

Tire shake fucked me out of an 8 second pass on the 9.030 run.
Dragway 42 on a TnT night is just not the place for a car like mine
Best part is thats only 17psi and only 16* of timing, on a 295 drag radial. It has alot left in it.

This is the first time I've seen this thread. Good work guys. Ray, I believe we crossed paths years ago down when I was in Columbus having my car dynoed. You guys were just pulling in as we were coming off the dyno. Anyway, again, good work.

Turns out it was discontinued, it was also very pricey when you could get it
