• that thing shold break the   record at 1/4 throttle! :lol: man,that car  should be pretty sick,diesels have come a long way since 73!!!  you guys know cummins built a diesel for indy back in the 50's?in one my turbo books it said it didnt finish,because the turbo had straight vanes,(old and unused setup pretty much anymore)and when they collect dirt on the backside,the turbo doesnt pump so well,,so severe over fuel happens,,anyone else have a little info on this too???
