Ahh the drag radial class is awesome. They can use a single turbo with maximum inlet inducer, inside diameter of 88MM. BUT, read the fine print....88mm inducer , nothing about the exducer. I have had a few drag radial turbos built, and their are a few tricks to them, as well as it says nothing about the frame, so you can use as large a frame as you can fit. The bigger the better. Good luck man...if you need a drag radial kit let me know.


And its TRAITOR .....lol

hehe, yep! A 106 necked down to 88mm sure can move a shitload more air than a straight T88 can

You darn right it can....lol. I have seen some nasty ones come through. I would be using one myself if I could fit a large frame under the hood.

oh man... nice ride... I have thought about selling my SS quite a few times for a 94-95 just like that... white, cowl hood and prostars... looks mean as hell.

As Jose said, tons of kits for it.... I was going to get either a PTK or an HP kit.

Goodluck.... should be fun.

I don't blame you for going the Ford route.Considering our so-called racing series is weak at best,I'm considering a similar move.The Ford crowd get parts for much cheaper than us and the aftermarket support is phenomenal.Good luck on your new project.

yeah,
mustang performance is alot cheaper. If your going all out racing go ford, street/strip with some drivability i would go GM all the way. Ive never seen a 350/ls1 block break when nitrous is sprayed on it.

A conventional small block chevy (gen 2) is just as cheap, if not cheaper to get HP from than any ford engine. And that way yuo can still run with the General.
