That is one bad *** EVO, I can't wait to see the results!

 

I'm definitely making every effort to be at MIR on July 23rd!!!

 

I really dont like it when people go out and do something inovatve and creative with their car (like these guys) and the arm chair quarter back haters start making negative comments - like the ones above about his roll cage or his drivetrain. This car is something to be respected and admired becuase of the great effort put forth in its creation.

 

You guys built the manifold? Looks like Cody's work to me.

 

someone has found god, its so funny doing a search on Al's old posts and his new ones, he must have been yelled at by his wife lol...or is he single??

 

Safety equipment is not the place to be innovative and creative. The FIA, SCCA, NASA, BMW CCA, PCA, and every other race sanctioning body has very specific guidelines about roll-cage design, seats, and harnesses. This particular cage wouldn't pass tech with any of the organizations I mentioned above. That's a fact and "hating" has nothing to do with it. We've seen quite a few people here on evom.net who have paid lots of money on custom cages that are unsafe and no tech steward will ever let them run.

The original poster says that the cage has already passed tech with NHRA. I'm surprised, even though I know their guidelines are much less strict than those used in road racing. The angle of the harnesses over the shoulder is far to extreme to be safe in a high-speed impact. If you consider that "hating" then that's your problem.

Dynoflash thank you for your support. I was refering to the intake manifold, sorry for not being specific. Our cage was made by a highly credited company that specializes in roll cages. I appreciate everyones comments.

 

holy gigantic turbo! looking good! good luck with this project!

 

11k rpm that's something unheard of...., who's the combany that balanced the engine

 

Shearer: ISP and Cody have worked together to build this amazing manifold you see. He does great work!

 

evo542: Our machine shop does perfect work with our crankshaft and our custom damper helps a great deal in reaching an 11k rpm w/o issues. We are currently manufacturing these dampers, check back for updates.

 

Awesome!

 

Thanks!

What else are you guys using, other than the dampner, to rev to 11K rpm? Titanium rotating assembly?

 

First off, the car looks great!!! That turbo looks GIGANTIC.

How did you reach 762 whp w/o tuning? I don't understand that part. What turbo were you using when you put down the 762 whp? Keep up the good work.
