Definetly what dusty said about warranty and on the install, it looks like you got some work cut out for you [sm=smiley36.gif]

Looks good. Nice and clean. I don't think you'll have any spooling issues.

Heres mine:

No, no, no, those aren't turbochargers, now these are turbochargers:

did anyone else see in Hot Rod a month or two ago, the car (and I can't remember what car it was now [:@]) that had 4-6 turbo's?? I should find the article... all I remember it was red and had a whole bunch of sickness

Damn, RR, I think my turbo just peed itself in fear

Darksyde, manifold, exhaust system mods, oil lines, maybe fuel control, deifintely boost control.

Crazy, is that manifold going to flow well? Also, don't forget to support it well, some mainfolds have seen cracking due to heat cycling and having no support for the weight of the turbo.

Why wouldn't it flow well? Its a Chill Factory manifold I know plenty of people running CHill Factory manifolds with absolutel no problems.

Didn't know that was Lens work. Don't get me wrong, the craftmanship looks great. But if you picture air moving like water, that's some hellacious turbulence where all four flows meet. And I've only seen one person reporting results from the Chill Factory kit.
Best (only one I have seen posted anywhere) dyno 300whp looks like this. And from what I understand, this is the CF test car.



No times, no good dynos, no testimonials.

I know Len has made some of the fastest Neons around, I resepct that. But so far, his SRT kit is an unproven deal.

The new Bougatti (sp) is a 16 cylinder engine with 4 turbos. 1001hp.

Since we're talking about speed, I was just browsing the net and seen this,
supercharger instead of a Turbo although. It's almost... inspiring

Acceleration in Perspective

One Top Fuel dragster with a 500 cubic inch Hemi engine makes more
horsepower than the first 4 rows of stock cars at the Daytona 500.

Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1-1/2 gallons of nitro
methane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate
with 25% less energy being produced.

A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to drive a
dragster's supercharger. With 3,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of air being
rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed
into a near-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of
hydraulic lock at full throttle.

At the stoichiometric (stoichiometry: methodology and technology by which
quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions are determined)
1.7:1 air/fuel mixture for nitro methane, the flame front temperature
measures 7,050 degrees F. Nitro methane burns yellow. The spectacular white
flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated
from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases. Dual magnetos
supply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an arc welder in
each cylinder.

Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After halfway, the
engine is dieseling from compression and the exhaust valves glowing at 1,400
degrees F. Cutting the fuel flow is the only way to shut down the engine.

If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in the
affected cylinders and then explodes with sufficient force to blow cylinder
heads off the engine, the block into pieces or split the block in half.

In order to exceed 300 mph in 4.5 seconds, dragsters must accelerate an
average of over 4G's. In order to reach 200 mph (well before half-track),
the launch acceleration approaches 8G's.

Dragsters reach over 300 miles per hour before you have completed reading
this sentence.

Top Fuel engines turn approximately 540 revolutions from light to light!
Including the burnout, the engine must only survive 900 revolutions under
load. The typical redline is 9,500 rpm.

Now, assuming all the equipment is paid off, the crew worked for free, and
for once NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run costs an estimated $1,000.00 per second.

The current Top Fuel dragster elapsed time record is 4.441 seconds for the
quarter mile (10/05/03, Tony Schumacher). The top speed record is 333.00
mph. (533 km/h) as measured over the last 66' of the run. (09/28/03 Doug
Kalitta)

Putting all of this into perspective:

Assume you are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter "twin-turbo" powered
Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, a Top Fuel dragster is staged and
ready to launch down a quarter mile strip as you pass. You have the
advantage of a flying start. You run the 'Vette hard up through the gears
and blast across the starting line and past the dragster at an honest 200
mph. The 'tree' goes green for both of you at that moment.

The dragster launches and starts after you. You keep your foot down hard,
but you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your eardrums and within
3 seconds, the dragster catches and passes you. He beats you to the finish
line, a quarter mile away from where you just passed him.

And that, my friend, is acceleration...
