@dwnrety1 The Supra that are you are talking about with 1500hp and Factory Tranny does 9 seconds, not 8. Please don't try to make it seem that it does 8 seconds just because the fastest time that it ever ran was an 8.99.
sounded like he lifted early on in that run too, turbo's are the way to go in alot of cases IMO and alot of guys are getting real good results from them, far more efficient than blowers.
top fuel uses superchargers instead of turbos for the same reason they stopped running full 1/4 mile passes, safety hazard of not beign able to slow down, turbochargers are more efficient, make more power = faster
@ericjoshmaloney they stopped because one of the top fuel dragster got killed during a drag race. they shorten it by 300 feet to allow for more braking room and a safer ride
im surprised that car doesnt just fall apart lol

Its amazing how docile the turbo motors seem while making huge power.

no that dont matter to much on a drag strip....in the air such as a jet..then yea aerodynamics matter but not a pro street car

bcuz that nova weighs like 1000 pounds more then a supra.....

@123nova
indeed
but there is one thing that makes huge difference... it's aerodynamics..
as we all know nova is just as aerodynamical as brick.

@123nova 1998 supra from factory is about 3800 lbs i believe.
nova from factory was about 4200 i think.
400 lbs wont make a whole lot difference with an extra 1000 hp.

if he has 2500 hp should the time slip be a little lower?.
1500 hp supra does 1/4 in about 8 sec. with a full interior and a factory 6 spd tranny. just saying.

yeah but it prolly tops out super high man or is made to accelerate on a different scenario..something like that

@dwnrety1 I'm pretty sure an unbuilt factory tranny couldn't handle 1500hp.. just saying.

@ApEx1HP well ofcourse its built up like crazy but it has a 6spd manny tranny just like factory.

Nope - Nova from factory was 3200 - low end models came in under 3000lbs.
Earlier cars were lighter than they appear (very little bracing, insulation, etc). Even the '57 Chevy was 3400 - 3600 lbs wet.

@bitoart Because they're built to go fast (in a straight line) for no more than 10 seconds....

@RIPSNZ Cept that turbos can melt a lot easier then superchargers, which is probably why top fuel drag cars still use superchargers.

exactly, if they had more power, then they would be going too fast to slow down dipshit

I dont care for turbos, but I am a Chevy II fanatic, and this little '66 is WILD!
Way to go, hats off!!
