He gapped a Musi powered car really bad. He has to have some secret advantage. I don’t hate the guy but he is the King right now.
So many things go into a run that you can't assume that will always be the case. From the air quality, how many of the 5 nitrous kits they are running, the traction control plotting, spinning, etc. But being they were racing Martin, it is safe to assume they were getting after it.
Ryan Martin and crew put a lot of time, effort, and money into their program. The Procharged billet hemi are a lethal combos. They typically can hold a 200-300 hp advantage over the 481x combos. Their team has great support of people like Steve Petty and others. People that are the best in the business. But their team has an understanding of the car, tracks, tuning, and so on is what really has them where they are. There are other hemi procharged combos that are not running as well as they are. I don't think anyone that they race takes them lightly or thinks they haven't put in the work to be where they are. They are on top for a reason. But there are a LOT of new cars this year already and more coming. The competition should be incredible as other programs get a handle on things.
Ya, like I said earlier, a 4.20 might cut it in round 1 or 2 on a sketchy track. But you can see many of these tracks come around quickly. That 4.0-4.20 just isn't going to cut it to go rounds.Bob Hope, I texted a little with Dave Adkins. He said 3.80s were needed to be competitive.
But even when you watch the shows. They keep throwing more power at the runs and it keeps taking it without issue. The chassis setup and weight bias is very good.
But ya, making as much power as you can with limited traction control intervention the quicker you are going to go. Anyone can make a plot that pulls power out the whole run. Sure, it might not spin, but it won't be fast.
Yeah but
Pressure Ratio a a big centri blower is not as efficient as a turbo setup, have to factor the weights they race at.

Hold on, let me go throw a Ferrari emblem on the caprice and sell that bitch.
