For you guys that love the sound of a Buick V6, here's a video of my car with the Duttweiler twin turbo installed. My Buick was full weight, no two-step, and an 8 point cage. The only fiberglass on the car was the hood. The picture is grainy, but the sound was preserved rather well.

Nice pass Chris, looks like the car was moving around a bit on that pass. Can I assume you were still using the ATR bar or had you already upgraded to the Wolfe? That is definitely hauling the mail at 3800lbs!
 
Yup, ATR rear bar. The body was really bending over on the launch.

The version of that pass when I can be heard screaming is much better...

Chris is putting the car back together, it could be out later this year.
He has 2 young children that are a priority.
 
7.9 thats the car in the old dyno videos?

That is correct but it had different heads, turbos and a bad lifter when he chassis dynoed it.

The original combination Kenny Duttweiler made 1680HP with, the revised motor made 1850HP with more on the table.
 
very nice i dont know where i heard he sold it.i think it was in a desciption of a video with a car similar to his

That car had my old tsm motor in it with new heads.

Actually, my family and I were going to head to Queensland to checkout the zoo and of course other things that Australia has to offer. My wife's mother has several friends living in Australia we'd love to visit. My next couple of trips with the race car is a very cool heads-up match at Sacramento Raceway in September, and then the Pinks All-out qualifying at Infineon Raceway also in September. I will also be at the Texas Mile in October with my Z06 and the Supra that I owned for about 8 months lol. I sold the Supra to my friend and he's getting it ready at Autobahn motors in Texas (the same guy (Tommy) that ran 228 in the flying mile last year.

If you are in the area, drop in or stop by the trailer to raid our cooler :wink:

The Idaho car has a 200r4 built tough (with trans brake) by Len at Perf. Trans in Las Vegas. The converter is the invaluable ArtCar 16930 9". The turbo is a ball bearing T72 R-trim, 3' stainless dp and front mount IC. Using a FAST seq. box and 72lb injectors, -10 fuel line all the way to the rail and dual SX pumps. It has a fiberglass hood and the rest of the car including bumpers is all steel.
