Those are some fairly large turbos!I read that Mike Moran has a new car that has already gone 6.0's and he's planning to be the first in the 5's but it looks like it may be a race now!

True, Mike Moran could be in the 5's first, but it won't be a legal record. He's already gone 236mph, and 239mph which is outstanding, however the rules for the class dictate a certain cubic inch limit and also there is a weight limit for the class which he was under on both

Hey 85VortecTA I have seen that boost gauge in your avatar before. Probably b/c I see it everyday in my gauge cluster going to work
That was a sick Vette. I don't know about you guys but I would take any Vette.

glad to see annette is still racing. i haven't seen or heard a peep out of those guys since the nmca/nsca super series back in 02'. i think that whole body on that car is carbon fiber...just like her last few cars.
2500+hp out of that car...or a calloway...hmmmm
not a really hard decision.

It's a 1992 Eclipse GSX AWD. 5-speed with a limited slip rear diff. I got the awesome setup as far as DSMs go, a 6 bolt block, 4 bolt rear, 14B turbo, and limited slip rear. Not as fast as the TA but it is sure fun as hell to drive

I know quite a bit about DSM's I would say almost as much as 3rdgens, very easy to make them run 13's can run 12's on the stock turbo if the person knows how to tune, and thats what 90% of dsm owners suck at LOL.
a great car and about as much power/price ratio as a thirdgen.

I know if I were to run dedicated drag car Id definately do the turbo route. I had seen a little of the older version of Annettes vette on tv, still pretty impressive, even though im not much of a hardcore drag racing person.
