Yep, from the deck up, the 88 T1 is just like the 89 T1 (mitsu turbo, roller cam, 1-pc intake) and from the deck down just like the early 2.2 T1. In a Shadow/Sundance, it would be a strong combination.

One question Art - did you ever have to tech that combo? The blueprint specs are confusing. NHRA lists the log intake manifold P/N, which is not correct.

Yes they tore me down at Enghishtown for going 1.37 under I knew I would be torn down I showed them the difference in the log manifold. So only the 88 would get the hit. Wesely looked at the differences and agreed with me. but 3 weeks later they factored all the 2.2 turbo 1's from 84 to 88.
there are a couple of typo's in their classification guide, but I wouldn't count on them. They make the rules so it is perfectly okay (in their eyes) to change them. After all nobody, not even the turbo haters can come up with an ahfs factoring number that got me 13 horsepower at once. That was attributed to the "Artie Leong rule". figure out what number it took to move me 2 full classes (actually what it took to get me out of stock eliminator forever)

I get second place for getting 8 hp on the 88 daytona intercooled.

Yes I remember that Maple Grove right, full 128 car field, and Kenny still wanted number 1.
That was before the AHFS was instituted. That was during the dartboard days. I went quick at Cecil the week before the E'town race and figured it was a done deal. Much to my amazement (after #1 at E'town)
I was told they had no intentions of factoring me, till I ran the 1.37 under there. I truly brought that on myself.

Yep but it was fun getting those winston hats and the check.

I'm eyeing a 1989 plymouth voyager 2.5 turbo on craigslist.

Is that a good pick or has it been hit too hard? It's rated at 175 from 150.

The minivan's have been hit, but they'll still go plenty under the index in at least 2 classes...

[Sean Kennedy]

It looks like minivan might be gone...

So can yo experts out there tell me what various models the turbos came in? The omnis and any of the other shelby branded models are nearly impossible to find and going up in value, so i would like to find a dodge branded turbo car.

Okay, here it is, some vintage video of Dan Rockwell's Pinto
