pretty interesting setup. looks like it has tons of power

IIRC it had 300+hp, engine is already blown apart

Exhaust and intake manifolds are going to my friends 300 Lang. This one is going to have something better :wink:

something about the setup doesn't look right though... unless he has a way of restricting flow from the super or turbo...

I kind of agree as at low throttle where the turbo wouldn't make much boost, the SC would be overpowering it and blowing air into it backwards, probably causing loads of surge.

OK, the Guantlet has been thrown down. I am now waiting for a video from Andrew of his car doing the same thing with his new fat turbo!!

There is no chance that I would ever do any tires of mine. I'd sure have fun toasting a friends tires, tho. :wink: :lol:

I have 5 stock 84 300td wheels with 2/3rds worn out tires on them, I'll give you two of them on my southern road trip this march if you post up a sweet donut vid ;-)

I'll consider the offer... :lol: The 300TDT is officially my wife's car and I'm quite sure if she ever saw such a video of her car she'd be right pissed... :lol:

Just tell here you're a trained professional. [/conversation]

:lol:

I've watched that vid several times as well, I love the occasional puffs of smoke out the tail pipe! The sound of that engine is so rad too.

Smoke Show! Smoke Show! Andrew's gonna make a Smoke Show!
