What series do you intend to race with Bobby?



That transmission is illegal in any class that uses DOT tires.




Yeah, NHRA used to allow them in the quick class, but rules have changed.



I am really not looking to compete this year. I just want to go out and run fast time to be honest with you. I bought the trans because I wanted something that will not explode when I beat on it. It is a lot cheeper then a guru and much more durable. But, the guru would allow me to run in the street class...

You could have run in SportRWD last year, not for this year though.



You'll be in with the back-halved cars! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Woo Hoo



Well, I really cant even afford to travel around, and I wolnt have time to with school anyways. I am going to play with the car on the street a good bit. I really have no desire to go out and be competitive in any classes. I just want to build the car and enjoy using it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif



What about Pan-am's? Bracket racing...

Actually I worked my ass off 45+ hours a week over the summer, and have been working as a mechanic for a month now. I also have a LOT of good hookups. There would be no way I could afford to do this stuff without the hookup's (i got each turbo at almost 1/3 of the retail ) So at the end of this, I'm really not putting too much more into the car besides what I already had. Look at the price of a new T-51 kit...

Tyson,



I might fit into the NDRA pro street tire class. Everything checks out. They say no transmissions like lenco's, but thoes are sequential clutchless. I *think* they might be ok with a regular old H pattern, the rule is kinda shady on this.



That would be a great class to run in...

Actually they say it must be an OEM transmission. It doesn't have to be original to your car, but it must have been offered from the factory in SOMEBODIES car.



This would of course be specifically tailored to the Supra guys running GM automatics. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

The jerico is just a toploader ford 4 speed...



I think the case *should* look like the ford's. The newer DR4 - 4 has a magnesium case, but i dont think thoes come on the older model.

you better ask before you pay your entry fee or travel to an event.



NOPITECH@nopi.com



don't expect much, when I asked why individual throttle bodies and electric water pumps are illegal in the Turbo6 class this was exactly the response I got:




Hey Jack, the only reason they are'nt allowed is because it states in the rule book that you must use the injection that comes stock on the car. If it comes with ITB, than you can run that, if it comes with fuel injection via a rail, it must remain that way. We do not allow electric water pumps in the sportsman class.


It's illegal because the rule book says so. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png yet slicks are legal in this "street" class.

Where can I find out more about Demetris ports. IF you are really trying to make over 500hp (assume to the wheel) at 15lbs that would put you at 1.2 VE at 7k rpm or just over 1 at 8k. Best PP ports are known for that. So whats the secret?
