Story time:
My 11th grade year, I had a Dodge Dart with a 360 I had stuffed into it; headers/4 barrel Holley/ Chrysler electronic ignition.
The Chrysler Electronic distributor "looks" like the points distributor, but has 100,000 volts at the plug.
I was broke down at some parking lot. (I think it turned out to be fuel pump)
I guy from school wanted to check for spark by holding a plug wire, I told him "don't do it to this because it's electronic ignition".
He argued, it wasn't 100,000 volts and that he "does this all the time". (Hold my Beer?)
He was about a foot from the car, holding the plug wire, when I spun the motor.
I saw a fat blue spark jump between his belly to the car; when he got up off the ground, he said his mouth "tastes like a light bulb".

Speaking of dynos, Jeff the turbonator, do you rember the Diasio? Cam put down 350 + HP before you ever had seen 280. This years cars settup with a motor that Cam built early last season. The question to you is why is that??? If you havent figured that out by your 4th motor, I think youl never get it. Yes that motor has a turbo.

people dont secure things all the time, either from laziness or accidentally, life goes on.
although i think its ludacris, he was in a position to decide to keep hammering the car in a situation where failure was inevitable. the same would've applied to ANY rotary engine under similar circumstances, and thats assuming that other builds would have lasted as long as his did in that scenario.
and, wouldnt you swap motor's for a new fresh one if one just happened upon you for cheap like that? whether the old one had some life left in it or not?

There are threads under Pettit one for the SC kit and the other for the owners.
All the bickering that is going on on this thread really belongs on the induction system thread.
Phil created this one to have a place for the owners to communicate with out having to deal with all the he said she said bull **** and all the personal attacks that were going on on the original thread that was locked.
If you all haven't noticed Phil nor Shinka post any more I bet it's cause of all the negativity. They used to post some funny **** and thanks to the bitching they are gone.
Thanks for scaring them away!!!

BTW - Motor #3 came out with 115 - 120 PSI of compression. It made just under the "magic" number at UMS just a few weeks before I swapped it out.
If you had watched that video, you would have known I swapped it just because I can.
The "Boost Juice" is just methanol and water.
Nitromethane isn't miscible.
Maybe its about time you stopped hiding behind other people's accomplishments.

A lot of supposedly unmiscible things just need the right emulsifier.
Why do you persist in wanting to argue? What happened to your boost atheist thread??

You know I am reluctant to post in my own thread. Not so much due to the disagreements as the fact that certain posters seem to feel that if you disagree with their way of thinking then you are against them and they start attacking you. I count among my friends several people on this forum. We all have one thing in common, the love of the 8. I really don't care what started all the BS and the bickering and don't really care about the outcome. What I do care about is if someone disagrees with some aspect of your beliefs that you brand him and attack him.
I started this thread so that all Pettit owners, wannabes and detractors could talk about the Pettit supercharger. Personality's should be kept out of the discussion. I am trying to learn how to improve my 8 and trying to find nuggets of information between the outbursts.
I am against and would never presume to ask for censorship of any forum of open discussion but lets leave it as open discussion.

You have the wrong thread for a Vegas discussion - Jump over there and we will discuss all the hell that will be coming down because Mazda Maniac, Charles R. Hill, Easy_E1, and Chickenwaffer will be in town. I have already lined up the girls and had several bars put on extra stock. Some of the Vegas crew is planning on joining in the mayhem.

Nitro-Methane RC fuel in the Methanol:
Someone said it did not mix right with the methanol mixture; will it mix with gas?
Nitro-Methane pre-mix thread?
PS: I am NOT talking about Snow Performance Nitro-Booster; I have that on order.
It should come any day now....
(or they will take me to Guantanamo for ordering it)
