[Tigers] Thinking Ahead...

[Larry Mayfield]

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...
