Quote from: "John Hartman"
does the open dump actually make more power?  Or is it just to control boost creep?  Or,(and I hope not) is it just to make noise?


25hp to the wheels!  :shock:

seriously though.. thats a good question, i've never really thought of that. i guess it would sorta be like running a really free-flowing exhaust

yes congrats to all, about the camaro, well it was pretty freaky.

it was about a 2000 camaro with slicks running 12's all night.

He launched and was fine till about 1/4 way down, heard a pop like a backfire, kinda got squigly in the back and started to cross lane on 2 wheels (like when you see those dragsters wreck) and he floated for about 7 feet, hooked back, I moved back and grabbed my girl cause I thought he would snap back cause of the slicks and come right at us, but then pow right into the wall.  Kinda sucks cause there is no insurance whatsoever.

And John, nice run and well fraser, damn!! i must say though, you sound like a 2 stroke going down.
