To all of you Canadiens, you might want to put FunCool on suicide watch and take all sharp instruments and even shoestrings from him!

I'd like to see what you'd do to Vince with that 200 shot! That'd be a race worth seeing!

FunCool, your car is still a FREAK, but there is always someone faster and it was just your night to meet that car! Now you know how those Guys that you smashed felt!

Hang in there................It'll get better!

PS. You gotta watch those Centrifugals, they make some power!

Maybe he has respect for Vinny ... Maybe he wanted to see if he could win blower to blower ... maybe he was scared ?

Funcools always been for comparing power adder to power adder.

Taping the nawz woundn't prove anything.

If you **** him off though . . . . . he's gonna spray you like a bloated skunk!

Did you do the math on over spinning that thing? I think your about there now, not to rain on your parade, but they come to a point where they stop adding power no matter how fast you spin them. Then they break.....

Yup!! They did some figuring and with the rear overdrive I'm still O.K, but close to the edge!! When you spin them to fast, actually they can stop making boost. The air starts to flutter in the veins of the rotors and boost can drop, but I'm still good to go!!!

I spun a littler maggie to the moon (over 21k on a 4 banger at 8700 rpm)

At 16 psi sc outlet temps were 320F...at 18 psi over 400F and the blower locked at wot and snapped a 6 rib belt.

So I sprayed water pre-blower and boost went up to 21 psi and temps back down to around 320F.

320F dropped to well under 200 F after IC..sprayed some meth post IC and

The blower lived for over 3 years like that...but I always had a back up in box ..just in case...

So much for my destructive testing of a little maggie (MP62)
