fastes hotair intercooled on this board

[shaun mccall]

who has the lowest 1/4 mile times on this hot intercooled board?

I don't know who has the fastest. Mine went 12.91@110.3mph at 13pi boost with the little TA49 and portmatched heads. That was through a plugged convertor which is the reason I could only get 13psi on the top end. I usually ran the car between 19-24psi on the street and from the way it felt on the 12 second pass I thought it was going to be a 15 second run, couldn't even feel it push me back into the seat. This was 3 years ago and the car has slightly improved since then. I know some have gone low 12s.

I believe lee has gone well into the 11's by now. I want to be the next guy who comes along and pops into that 10's range with no intercooler...but that day is a long time away. By the way, I believe lee's car is non-intercooled.

Lee's car is non-intercooled and has gone 10.70s I believe, maybe faster by now. I would loan my old Spearco setup to him just to see what it would do with an intercooler hint hint.

?

is 10.s really possible for an hotair uncooled? he must have twin turbos with no interior

 

[Chad Oliver]

Only a single turbo and a real nice full interior w/roll cage in that blue beast of his. Yes, he runs 10's.

an older article about his build up: http://www.gnttype.org/general/hitechuncool.html

Scott Porter, one of Lee Thompsons good friends, went 11:40's in a intercooled hot air. Unfortunately, his car burned in a fire...Imagine what it would run now!!!!

Mine isn't as impressive as Lee's yet but some day. Runs 12.00's best too date. Non intercooled.

Drew Carlton was going super fast too, he was well into the 11's without an intercooler.

I think me and turbowrenchead are going to put up some good numbers when we make it to the track. Or it wouldn't surprise me if I ended up going 15s due to some strange problem like I always encounter at the track. First time will be street trim for sure as I've never gotten a full run out of the car because I change something at the last minute and get one run.

I took her for a short ride today. It pulls extremly hard when it runs right. The tranny is still being worked on. It seems to shift fine till it gets hot. But now I have a miss/studder. It will clear up slamming the throttle a couple times. So who knows.
