Affordable widebands. I believe that's the reason so many people are stacking poweradders now. Ten years ago it was uncommon to even see an EGT guage in a car for tuning purposes. Now you can pick up a wideband for a few hundred bucks and tune the car to perfection with very little hassle and without guessing what your A/F is. I have seen countless pistons melted with the old open loop Accel DFI setups. One wrong keystroke, go lean and instant molten aluminum. The majority of it was trial and error. The cylinder pressures in Shep's 2.0 have got to be something unbelievable on the bottle, and controlling that is amazing, simply amazing.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
I am not sure what I want to do yet. I am now FWD and would maybe like more topend power if I go to the track. Maybe even to just help spool the turbo quicker. I have a few kits just sitting here so it is tempting. I am not sure if I will do it though.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
I have sprayed anything and everything, including gasoline engines & diesels. I've used turbo kits in a bunch of configurations...twin turbos to large single turbos. Every damn supercharger setup from Vortec A-trim to YS-trim, ProChargers, Paxtons, Powerdynes, I tried them all at one point or another. I've used nitrous systems from so many damn companies that have come and gone, and even made some kits myself with stuff I bought out of Grainger catalogs and pieces I had laying around. My hands down favorite for a drag racing power adder is N2O. Super cheap, easy to tune, reliable, repeatable, no belts to throw, no exaust routing nightmare and easy to maintain. For a daily driver, I've been a turbo fan since I had my first turbo Buick. It's hard to beat the on damand torque from a properly sized turbo combination on the street, and torque is what makes it enjoyable to drive. Now if someone out there wants to take a Mitsu 2.0, turbo it, spray it and even get close to running 7's in a car with a production head, production block, production trans and tons of factory parts and you want to dismiss it because "he's spraying", what in the hell would impress you? Ride in a solid mid 10 second nitrous car and the last thing on your mind will be, "Well it was fast, but you were spraying." Fast is fast, no matter how you get there.

Thats why he uses 400,000 psi head studs, compared to the normal ARP at 180,000 psi.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
40+psi and 11:1 compression ratio, then add some nitrous. I really want to be in the passenger seat!

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
For those of you that haven't heard.....He did it. Ran a 7.97 at near enough to 180 mph.
From NHRA.com:
http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r=100#indextop
He posted a in-car vid on dsmtuners.com in the track talk.

Ok....guess Shep running 7s is off-topic rather than news in the DSM community.
Sorry for the repost.
