Evan:
I can't believe you think the majority of us are nieve enough to buy your story about blower pressure vs. performance. Just one look at the power adder classes in NMCA, NSCA (defunct), OSCA etc. I competitively raced in NHRA Modified Eliminator years ago. The racing was fair and very competitive and for the post part, no one or no class had any advantage. That was with two exceptions. The first was the Mazda rotary. NHRA Tech could not figure out how to measure and calculate the cubic inch to weight ratio (still a problem in sports car racing) , so it dominated for a time. The second, and relevant case to this thread, was the turbocharged Pinto of Buddy Ingersoll. He ran rampid through Modified eliminator and turned up the wick only when he needed to. No rules as to intercooler, boost pressure etc. He went as fast as he needed to in any weather and took a lot of money from the rest of the Modified racers.( as well as loosing a lot of respect.) The point is, you cannot race a blown (turbocharged, supercharged) car in the same class as a naturally aspirated one. Shoe polish race you say? Yes, but someone in the same class will suffer, be non-competitive and get run off. Only strict rules and guidelines (boost pressure, pulley size, blower mods, intercooler specs) will keep this in check. And as I said on another thread, we don't have that ability to tech them. FJ |
