I find it hard to believe that neither car has ever raced on video before. Cars that bada$$ are filmed and filmed often. Hell if I owned either car I'd starting shooting my own movie and everything. "Street Racing ....Vigilante Style. Dirt is for growing taters, asphalts for racing! YEEE HAAAHH

Turbos make more power per pound of boost than anything, PERIOD!!!. My Vortechs going in the garbage in June for a t-76. :rockon:

That's not exactly true, in gross terms supercharger are as efficent as turbos (provided they are within their optimum operating range), the issue is that turbo's produce more net gain as they require less power to run them, this makes them more efficent overall.

i'd still take a turbo over a blower

This is the only turbo dragster I could find. Why is that?

Which produces more power at the end :banana:

Yep for PEAK power a turbo will always be the winner. There are downsides such as dirveability and turbo LAG. So superchargers still have a place and for a fast road car can be just as impressive.

Turbocharging is very popular outside the USA and has been pretty mainstreme on family cars and hot hatch backs for over 20 years, however it is normally on smaller engines.

You don't see that many on big engines because it's expensive and generally not needed. 300bhp is pretty easy from a large displacement V8, but from a 2.0 16v straight 4 a turbo is really required.

Turbochargers are also banned in many areas of motor sport, back in the late 70's and 80's turbo's where big business in Formula 1. They managed to squeeze 1500bhp from a 1.5 litre V6!!!!!!!! :0

Yep that's exactly what Net means.

How big would a turbo have to be to produce this HP? Is it feasible?

Between rounds, work on any Top Fuel car looks frantic but actually is organized and efficient. Here, the BME Crew works on the BME/Okuma/Red Line Oil Dragster's nitromethane-fueled, 8000-hp, 500-cuin. BAE Hemi at the NHRA Finals at Pomona, California in November of 2005.

I say we settle this whole dispute next Wednesday on Pinks, that way everyone gets to see the race

The key stat in your list is the fuel used. Nitromethane. Imagine a gasoline based on high explosive (Nitroglycerine) and you get the picture...
