It seems like there are very few making any real power...I can probably count them on one hand.
Of those few at least one is tapping out because he can't keep a trans in the thing at just over 500 HP at the tires.
How many guys if any are keeping their stuff together at that level or higher?
What happened to that turbo truck out of Florida?
It looks like I may need to seriously reconsider my plans of heads, cam and a blower. Maybe just add the blower and see what comes later as far as transmissions that'll hold some power.
From what I read it looks like its the 2P downshifts that kill them.
Maybe a lower stall converter so it won't hit so hard? A centrifigul blower over a Magnuson so it won't make boost quite so hard and fast?
Can anyone tune out the 2P downshift? If you're north of 500 HP you can probably live without it anyway.
Thoughts?
