Sleep in and on Sunday we hit the track.
Sunday, you fly out 5:55pm and arrive in Portland 12:31am. :D

If anyone is willing to do that for Sevenstock, checking out jeff's car or whatever, then for God's sake take a trip to Japan sometime and catch Tokyo Auto Salon, Tokyo Motorshow or something at least once in your life...

Wonder if you could make an intercooler which used liquid nitrogen.. hmm..
Follow me here. If 7 psi enters the intercooler and you cool it with liquid nitro,
how much less boost would you have on the other size of the intercooler?
(assuming you were able to cool the air down to lets say 80k).
And what in the world would happen if you had like only 2psi but 10 times as
much O2?..

It's allready on the market. I'll be quiet and try not to pretend like I know these
things

Actually as I recall RP was discussing this kind of issue in his "axial flow" thread. There is such a thing as too cold. beyond a certain temp, the fuel won't be able to remain vaporized, so it will condense and fall out of suspension from the intake charge. An application for something like what you posted above would be for a the crazy high horsepower dragsters that run really high boost levels. More boost means more pressure, which means high temps.

Okay guys.. video is finally uploaded. It's 16 minutes long. The first 10 minute or so is just city driving out to the road where I know there aren't any cops so I can do some high speed runs. Please excuse the 'clicking', it's my lens cap to the camera.. forgot to tie it off.. it's rattling against the tripod. Also, I forgot to turn my damn Air Conditioning off.. Notice how the car pulls in 3rd and 4th gear like it's in 2nd. So much power reserve in the 'long' gears. My launches at the end weren't spectacular.. i'm trying to preserve my clutch as long as I can. but notice after I get going and hit the throttle I still break loose in the rear
I'll take daytime video tomorrow during the day. I'll do 2500rpm runs up to red line from 3rd, 4th, and 5th.
Anyhow, enjoy the video.. I tried my best at describing what was going on. Here is the link. The file is 17.7mb
http://tyrannical.org/philodox2.wmv
Let me know your thoughts!
**EDIT** Sorry if it's a bit blurry.. I compressed the video to make it a smaller file size.. I just cleared with the video host that I can make the next few in full clarity so you can see everything really well. **EDIT**

Jeff (MazdaManiac).. I'm going to the drag strip at Atco, NJ this sunday if the weather holds out. Would enjoy the company.. we can see what our turbo 8's run in the 1/4
Well i'll be joining you at ATCO, should probably let me do a pass, see how much i can improve on my 14.5 with a totally stock car, anyone know what the torque peak is with unit?
