He hasnt ran it yet, the car will be deep in to the 8s, no doubt. The old N2O set up ran in the 9.30s, but its now a turbo car. BigRikC5's 96 Formula WS6.

Yea that ricks car. I've seen it in person. Man that turbo is sick. It should start out in the 8's for sure and then make it's way into the 7's. It's just going slower to build than expected for him right now. If you're in houston or close stop by HPE and check it out. You'll be glad.

Yea, the chasis work alone is a sight to behold. The suspension/chasis are set up awesome in that car, it should really run great, cant wait to see it done. But yea, a build up of that magnitude doesnt come cheap at all.

They take a lot of money and a lot of time to build, but the pay-off is always worth it.

Unless you blow up off course, but even then thats a learning experience.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rick, I don't think this guy has seen the few pics of your new setup! If he got a look of the size of the turbo, I don't think he would be doubting you! Damn newbies!

If you are speaking of me, I have seen the size of that 91.5 mm turbo. That doesn't mean it has what it takes to go from 9's to 7's.

I think you're just worried about getting outrun by an LT1

Bring your 00 SS to the track, and let's see what she's got.
