It amazes me how much power those turbo guys make with those big ass turbos. It is also manzing to hear them spit and bang and pop when they take off from the starting like as they are cutting out the cylinders. Can you imagine the first guy who did that and how many times must have let off thinking something has to be wrong.

All the Novas Rodger's building are pretty bad ass but that Twin Turbo 400 is just CRAZY! I saw that thing this weekend when I cruised up there! WOW! I hope those SFC's hold! LOL!

That sweet sound is the "anti-lag" which retards the ignition timing to allow the fuel to burn in the header to create more heat to get the turbo's to spool.

Do you have a wastegate on the intake pipe before the throttle body? Nothing like building 40psi at the turbo and only letting 10psi to the motor but once you leave letting 40psi hit the tires!!!

We are just getting this Car going. The owner is going to Fly this guy from New York out to tune it, Job from Turbo People. I think they leave on as much boost as they can there are no waste gates in the cold side just a big ass ice chest in the front seat and a fuel cell full of ice in the trunk. Then traction is just a matter of good boost controllers. Of course after I have just gotten the nitrous deal somewhat figured out Roger decides to build a turbo car. Oh well I'm always down to learn more and more.

Well I guess this nova makes 5, it left last week.
