Another great Road Kill! I think DF and Finnegan where a little hard on the "blowers" from what I gather at these speeds it takes 5-10 HP to pick up one mph so 20HP on the Dyno should be good for 2-4 MPH they got 2.7 mph or 7.4 HP/MPH. So that is right in the middle of what I would expect it to do. But if you were expecting 100 HP from the blowers than I can see it as a let down.

I did think the Chevy 350 was pretty weak. They should have gotten a (ford) 5.0! Crappy the Capri ran 4 mph faster with out blowers and 48 less ci. Should have gotten a Ford for cheap speed!

though 4 lug wheels where a no no.

Depends on the class and anticipated top speed. I ran my 'Stang with 4 lugs and I think Russell runs 4. Above 150 and things get more intense.

wasn't there a kid on here with an escort that might go 100/110 that had to change to 5 lug because turk said no 4 lug

I think that was to run on the salt. He raced at maxton.

I pulled this from an old post. Get an SCTA Rulebook for current rules. Join the ECTA and you'll get a complimentary rule book I believe. Nothing in here about 4 or 5 lug? That's news for me anyway. Walt still comes on from time to time, I believe school, being a military candidate, and working on an X-plane with his dad are taking most of his time. Shrek may have more to add.
