You must have missed the chit talking in the reTOOL cv1 thread.


We are supposed to race on the track and not the dyno, right?

You of course do realize he built his car for 1/8 mile racing series? Right?

You guys can insist all you want that jacks "affraid" but i dont think so. Frankly he has little to gain from a win IMO unless its a donkey stomping(i personally don't expect that). He stands to lose little either but his pride and 1 engine builder "may" have a wounded ego.

On the other hand if the other camp does not show....oh boy the shame. Or if they lose. Its a whole village that will be crushed. If they win they will all change their sigs and get drunk for 2 weeks strait celebrating. The rest will just smirk.

But its entertaining so carry on. If fulton wins i will stand in line and buy bill,jim, and dick ice cream.

If Dick can make it to the track, it will be a good show one way or the other.

I thought the 8-71 blower was the handicap in this matchup (Leech vs George race)

Just might be!

No offense intended George. I think a 14-71 might be better than overdriving the 8-71.(Think turbo instead George)

As a bracket car it does what its supposed to, run consistant and reliably. That is what Georges build was intended to do, not intended to be a heads up racer.

Yes Bruce 14-71 would make it quicker and turbos ARE boring, I'm very limited on how much BOOST I can run BUT like you said it is only a Bracket car. The Pro Gas class I've been running in the Nostalgia Races all use 8-71 (BIG Block Chevy's, BB Fords & some BB Mopars and they all seem to be light under 3,000 lbs) and Im running with them. I didn't build as a Dyno Queen or Test & Tune car like a couple on this PY board............I race it in Competition!!

If George could figure out how to fit TTB under the hood, he could make some serious Boost (Hot Air) really work for him with the methanol fuel George likes to run.

#18,638 posts plus the 5891 posts I lost a few years ago that you (in your vast wisdom) were not aware of TTB.
Funny, no one has even hear of you being involved in ANY boosted Twin Turbo engine project, Bill. Much less collect some "wood' for the knowledge.
