I just found out from Billy that one of the new NHRA rules is that the turbo must be located in the engine bay.
BS :bs: :tantrum: :tantrum: :grr: :grr: Thats so much crap!!!!
Do you remeber when the turbo 3.8L buick came out? Then NHRA band turbo's at the events, because they where smoking the shit out of the N/A v-8 cars. Sounds like the same BS to me!!!
Thanks for letting me vent out!
That has got to be a bad rumor.
Nope, that rule is true. I guess STS needs to hire a lawyer because their business is going to go down hill. I saw the new rule on a track's website. I just knew STS was going to be fuming over that. The rule won't affect us guys that aren't NHRA registered racers though. The rule doesn't disqualify individuals from racing during test and tune and street wars nights at NHRA tracks, just won't let you race in a points race.
Nope, not a rumor. check the 4th revision down.

yep i saw that too but it doesnt pertain to us unless we are in the nhra points races at the nhra sanctioned tracks...
Theres no way we (as trucks) can do that unless we run twins right?
They must be scared that a rear mounted turbo will beat all their front mounted turbos?
There's just some old fart sitting around seeing what new rules he can come up with. :laugh: The kind of guy that can't handle change! :flipoff:
new rule... role cages required for any racer!! LOL mine will be made of exhaust pipes. LOL i laugh cause i know people that have that great setup.
STS can't really do anything legally to get them to change the rule, it's their organization so they can do whatever they want. as for a rear mount turbo being a front mount that's stupid, if it's tuned right it wont matter where it's located, and you CAN run a single front mount turbo setup with a truck, but twins is better!
