its so simple. back in the days where motor's were metal and computer's could only solve 8+9.
|
Yup, the pro-charger is pretty complicated though. It spins at 55k rpm!!! The internals are very complex.
|
yeah but tuning on these is all mechanical. i hate carbs but they are so much easier than the ecu and injector tuning of today.

pretty sick! those back tires are HUGE.

Monster horsepower! My girlfreind and I are looking for an old Chevy or Ford to do a restoration on. I get to do the mechanical aspects and she gets to do the cosmetic stuff. lol So if anyone ever sees a bright pink classic hotrod with flower interior and putting down 1000+ HP, that's probably us. :)

lol Just kidding. I think she's looking for two tone teal/white outside with white interior. Not too shabby I guess. We are still years away from having cash to do that though.

MPGs not 1st concern

He only plans on running it at the strip a few times. He is building this for mainly show purposes.
|
I bet he will be fastest on and off the trailer by a mile! LOL
|
Pure seks. Not a fan of most muscle, but this seems like a competent and thorough build. Absolutely amazing work.
|
Yeah I don't really prefer muscle cars either, but he has thought this through and is doing everything the right way.
|
A 55 Chevy isn't really a muscle car per se. I guess what he is building would be called a Pro Touring car, but not really since he won't be using it as a driver. Still a really nice build though....
|
Oh no he is still going to drive this car. The beauty of the Pro-Charger system is you can drive on the street or the strip with 1000 plus HP. Now the MPG could be a problem haha
|
Yeah really! I went on a rod run with a bunch of T-buckets a few years ago and those guys have to stop about every hour to fill up! Something about supercharged small blocks and six gallon fuel tanks....LOL
