Mr Turdbo?

With the smaller Impala one and stock brakes up front it held mostly fine
with the "anti-lag" deal.... For my 1.5x 60 foots, I would launch at 10psi.
I just had to be standing on the pedal is all. What usually helped
was either getting to the line right after burnout while the vacuum was
still good.. pedal sucks in more. Otherwise i'd put in N and rev it up to
get it going and it would hold.
Hoping this one works just as good... Worse case vac pump i have may do double duty.
At the line, i would put in N and give it a a quick rev while standing on the brake... then put it back in drive.
I would be around 1-2* timing max. In some cases I was at 100% throttle
for a second or two before letting off the brake to go.

whats sad is its actually back in there
Dave didn't keep our old hall effect sensor setup. Bummer too.
Hopefully welded in or whatever.
Apparently that little area that the sensor is mounted to, is same place where he had to do some magic for the trans brake.
VAC pump moved down to where battery use to be mounted. Since battery in trunk, opened up some room.
Then a VAC canister was put in where pump was.
Vac pump will be doing double duty it looks... on when the brakes are pushed. And on when over 1psi of boost.
Be interesting to see how it works out. Being done to insure there is no problem with the small brake booster.
yeah I was wondering why he wasn't going for the front bank pipe to loop up and over to the rear turbine flange with the rear header having the more straight shot at the front hole, that should equalize the secondary lengths quite nicely
x2 on mr Norris. I just emailed him last week and I forgot to ask.
he's been quite a bit of help for us

Hasn't moved the shop yet.. He's packing stuff and what not,but
realizing he has 10x more crap in the shop that he realized.
He's been reading up on turbo pipe magic so wants to try some design changes.
Hopefully will knock that out very soon.
Hah.. poor guy.
I was there about 5hrs or so.
Got quite a few phone calls during that time. Which appeared
to mostly if not all being people questioning him on things and
talking his ear off.
I am surprised he still has a phone # ... i'd gone strictly only online
contact. I am sure he wastes alot of time a day on the phone.
Me likey updates. Unfortunately, I would like to kindly ask you to please tell Dave he can't use this as a retirement project. I don't care how nice he is and how helpful he is, he's gotta get it done so we can have running car updates. Has he fixed the whipple car's transmission yet? I was curious what was hurt inside of it.
Hopefully he will be putting the hours now that the tracks are open here. I wanna race soooooon....
I forget where whipple trans is in his line up to do ... as far as I know, hasn't
been touched yet. Will be needing it soon...
Hurt wise inside, I'd assume not very much. Just the slipping sprag and
maybe typical clutch wear. But good time to get all refreshed anyways and
a few things that didnt exist in 2009 done like the sonnax piston and such.
