Ok, folk. Somehow it seems that the note that the next generation of
motor(s) for the salt flats car has to be all motor. That means no
blowers, no turbos, no NOS, just motor. Can be a really high tech
sucker, but NO power adders.
Now, some have mentioned the power output of the 2.3 liter Pinto
derivative motors. I have a friend in Detroit who ran a Merkur with one
that he spared no expense to build and tune which put out 750 reliable
HP. Of course that was turbocharged and he ran two intercoolers as
well. The first one was the conventional ice water air and the second
one he used NOS to cool the already chilled air even more. It pushed
the Merkur to a 225 or so record.
I do not want to run power adders for the next gen motors for the
sunbeam salt car...
