"Some set of friends for a "turbophobe," eh???"

They must be using you as comedy relief Bill.

"I know of two road race organizations whose sanctioning bodies require the use of telltale boost gauges on forced-induction cars in competition Why do you think they require those?"

Because they want a bunch of cookie cutter cars. Until NHRA and IHRA requires your "gauge" I don't care what other sanctioning bodies do.

"But, these cars I cited can't ALL be under-rated, and running off soft indexes. Hard to believe that ALL o f those turbo cars' owners are that smart"

Yeah because everybody knows turbo guys are a bunch of low tech moronic idiots!

"That is why I am of the opinion that the boost levels in these cars are not what they were when they left the factory"

This is one of the first things you have gotten correct Bill. See the equality statement refering to other engine parts in my above post.

"Your inability to explain why two or three percent of the cars running Stock Eliminator (the turbo cars) should be earning over fifteen percent of the #1 qualifying slots at NATIONAL EVENTS" is telling"

Oh ok, I'll tell you why. Because several extremely technologically inept moron mechanics got lucky I guess. Oh and your data base is skewed big time. I'm surprised you didn't use only the races that turbo cars competed in. Your data MUST include all races not just National events.

"These guys aren't Bob Dennis... They're not Jim Wahl... They are a varierty of people with one common thread: Unrestricted boost from their turbochargers."

Yeah, sort of like all other races who want unrestricted performance from their race cars.

"I feel that needs to be fixed."

OK Bill, other guys who actually race have a few more pressing concerns they have been trying to have resolved but I'm sure NHRA will get right back with you.

"As an aside, I was going to turbocharge the motor in my Valiant, but there's not much room for plumbing under the hood of that A body"

I have a friend who has a twin turbo setup under the hood of a 440cid A body Dart with the stock fender wells and hood. You might want to contact one of those technological moron turbo mechanics to get that done for you. On second thought, after reading this thread, I doubt they would give you the time of day.

Oh, and my psychological analysis is on the house, treatment will cost you dearly. Jim
