LOL, we don't need to tape the fender covers on yours, they just stick to all the burnt rubber and dirt.

Chris could you tell me more about how your cooling your turbos? Are you going to use the heater core outlet on the water pump(looks that way from the pic) then put a T in line and go to both the turbos? Then put a bung in the rad for the return?

I was gonna do mine that way but thought about it for a second and thats hot water going into the turbos then even hotter water mixing in with the cool water coming from the rad. The oil cooler line coming from the water pump on the drivers side has cooled water from the radiator. I was thinking of using that for one. Are you thinking a single -6 is enough to supply both turbos? I was then thinking of welding a bung into the return line to the radator for the oulet of the turbos. (my new radiator from griffin is epoxyed so i can tig it there)

If you have done more research let me know your thoughts im in the process of doing this now
tks

Ok, good luck...
Were only got one good track 1/4mile event left this season, hopefully we will get the F1 back from procharger beafore that, we did a 8.58 run on a poorly prepped airport beafore the procharger gearbox broke (after 3 years racing), We dont expect any 7sec runs but who knows what a little extra N2O does
