    Compound Boost/Twin turbo+Supercharger

    Since TTs can build a lot more power than is useable adding is unnecessary. I owned a Detroit Diesel called a Silver 92. It was Turbo'd and had a Roots blower on it. Terrible for maintenance and unreliable. Big power and terrible mileage. They were 2 stroke engines. I saw an Oldmobile...

    They totaled my Viper today

    I'm in complete agreement with Plum and JonB. Although my car is worth over $60K to me I would take the $47 and keep the car. The insurance co isn't very "up" on values as my totalled 98 GTS Roe sc car sold for $17,850. Your's has a lot of good parts and if it still runs there's a lot of...

    Cats Have Been Deleted (Pics)

    Spit flames? There shouldn't be any unburnt fuel coming through the engine. Perhaps the Roe bein the exception because of it's 2" long intake runners, but I don't smell fuel from my car at idle. I do smell exhaust while driving if the window is down a little - it reminds me that I need to...

    Ford better at it then Dodge?

    You did say Mustangs? There are more mustangs on this planet than vettes. How many Ford GTs did you say there were? Vipers compare to Cobras and FGTs, not Mustangs and base vettes.

    World's Fastest Cars Event, Race the Base

    Good point Mike. I didn't ask Louie, but Darryl said that his car was really cool so he may have benefited from taping the top openings. His car was set for 5 mile top speed runs he thinks. I'll mention it to him. It's always better the second time around. I expect that nearly all the...

    World's Fastest Cars Event, Race the Base

    Cold Lake is only about 3 hours north of Edmonton and about 5.5 hours north of Calgary. 17 hour driving time from my house! Mind boggling rainstorms all the way to Edmonton and rained 85% of the way home. Global warming? Darryl said the runway is so smooth he could get 150mph+ in his...

    Water/Meth ?'s

    550rwhp means stock and 8# boost? My stocker with Roe 98 GTS made 600rwhp/644rwtq. It also had Roe w/m injection, RT Catback and Roe Hiflows. Ted

    Water/Meth ?'s

    Sean tole me WW -40 fluid is OK to use and what most cars are tuned for. My GTS/Roe car has a 2 gallon tank in the trunk. My Paxton was tuned with 100% Methanol in the WW bottle. The ACR has a Snow injection system. Problem with Alcohol is that it absorbs water easily. If you leave an...

    Gen 1 - Idling Question

    Not that big a deal to clean the IAT. It's bolted to the pass front of the intake. Just remove it and spray with carb cleaner. Make certain that the passageway in the intake is clean and don't let any 'dirt/carbon' fall into the intale. If you do, just remove the TB and clean the intake...

    Question about dealer work on the door?

    If they glue the hinge to the body you hope that there is never another adjustment needed?

    "Gear whine" shouldn't be experienced after about 4.10 gears.

    Race the Base this Sat.

    Yes Greg the week old Voodoo ACR was about 10kph slower than a standart 2008 SRT10. With the wing I had expected it to be slower than that. Also saw that they removed the wing from the MC12 on Sat. Ted

    Race the Base this Sat.

    Greg, I felt really bad for you driving a bike and when the rain got insane a little later I hoped that you'd found some cover. I slowed to 20mph and could barely see the road. 3" raindrops! Wow.

    Race the Base this Sat.

    There was a HOT blonde driving the MC-12. Felt bad for the Saleen. I was crapping out badly during practise. Tuning issues I think. the cloud of blue smoke following him back on Sat was a large one. The Shelby GT500 also came back with zero oil pressure and I felt bad for him also. I...

    Exhaust vomit!

    You could drive it that way, but it's recommended to removed the cats and make certain that the exhuast is clean. If any tiny pieces bet sucked into the engine they WILL be very expensive. Agreed that it's "not likely" so it you can afford to take a chance ... but you've been warned.

    Cats Have Been Deleted (Pics)

    The emissions testing do visual insoections for the cats - they supposedly remove a tiny amount of Nitrates(?) from the exhaust while increaseing C02 emissions because of the restriction. Adding toxic metal to our cars to be more green? Duh, hello ... Ted

    Oil filter wrench that does the trick every time!

    I just took a new timing chain and welded it onto a socket. Even if a shop tries to screw you over by overtightening the filter my tool removes it after crushing it to halfsize. It's the same tool that the truck shop uses to remove their overtightened filters. If you use a dirty old...

    Strange Idle

    Running lean? Did you pull the plugs and check? oxysensor? Got a Vec or AEM on it? What other mods besides the TBs?

    World's Fastest Cars Event, Race the Base

    I couldn't register my car. I was under evacuation order at my business and 'alert' at my house when I found out about this event. I phoned and asked how long I had to find out if I would be able to go. "Till midnight'" he said. Too much risk for putting up the required $2,000. Hearing...
