Got me a couple of Dimes to rub together and I am putting them in a Jar as
we speak....
The original goal was to gain some understanding of the systems from Paul
Chism ... now I that I have driven it on the street the Track at Maxton is
all I can think about.... I don't think it is rocket science really ....
but the Parts list for a motor of this magnitude is a little staggering....
but so to is the Hp... and the torque..... I can understand how guys have
REAL traction problems now... my little motor is just that... but it made a
different kind of Hp.. all way up high.. this twin turbo set up starts at
the bottom and pulls hard all the way up to infinity I think...
