Suggest adding an EGT (exhaust gas temperature) gauge & oil temp gauge to cluster. Shutting off a hot engine can lead to coking of oil on the bearings. The coke that forms can hurt the shaft, seals, and bearings eventually leading to oil leak, smoking and failure. IIRC the early rustclang...

IMO it has to do with regulating boost. I read the NHRA's rule book concerning use of turbos in Pro Mod. It's severe. They are showing signs of loosening up, but don't hold your breath. Rule making bodies aren't known for moving quickly, except when showing someone the way out. In defense...

Not quite. Laws of physics essentially says that something can't come from nothing. So the turbo cannot make power from nothing. Supercharger takes power directly from crank. Turbocharger takes power from exhaust gas velocity and heat. Does turbo motor lose more power due to exhaust back...

In case anyone is interested, here's a little history on the McCulloch/Paxton blower. Hint: It's been around a while. http://vs57.y-block.info/history.htm

Whoa. Garrett and AiResearch are the same company. The name changed over time. It was at one point referred to by both names. Check this out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrett_AiResearch

Back in the 50s, Studebaker/Packard used a McCulloch (precursor to Paxton) blower that had a unique clutch on it. It would kick in at 3000 rpm. The blower pulley was like the driven pulley on a CVT. As revs increased, the pulley "shrunk". Is Paxton or one of the other centrifugal S/C makers...
