i think he was talking about the metal tray under the engine...the call them "engine nappy's". In place to catch fluids ect if such disasters take place. One of the many requirements in the States when you get to that level of Drag racing

Yeah i was talking about the tray, but i really didnt know what a v-stack actually did anyway so thanks for filling me in. So many intake systems!!!! just make 1 or 2, why so many?? how do you know whats better than the other, at the end of the day it really comes down to personal preference. Sometime your force into a corner to decide is it worth it.
Is it really worth spending 5k+ on the intake system. Really how much better is it gonna be than your 3k one or even 1k.
Back on topic, if Flick has the money to do it properly opposed to finding a cheap way out which is common practice to so many on here, not to mention his purpose isnt just drag racing which is where these manifolds are used with good results, it is the way to go and ive seen the dyno results and MPH on US cars.Quote:

When are you planning to have a built motor BTW Yonas, anytime soon?
Will do it sometimes this year hopefully.Quote:

Just queitly, were you driving your car when it pulled 107.7's, shouldnt be to hard for you to reproduce come race time then should it?
Like i said, looking forward to an interesting year of super sprints. :thumbsup:
Yes power to weight wins. Just leave it up to the pro's that has run 10's and 11's comment. :thumbsup:Quote:

Like i said, look forward to seeing the talk do the walk, and no i hadnt heard, just assumed, look forward to seeing the results on the board. :thumbsup:
I'm pretty sure he's being sarcastic, Benny drove the car, as has always been the case for a very long time now. They hit a PB of 1:07 but were running consistent back to back 1:08's on fading brake pads and initial suspension setup not suited to the heavier engine.Quote:
