When you have the LineLoc on, and your THM200's Stall Speed is set for 4500RPM, and you launch the quarter with the boost already "on", it's academic. These are mission-specific builds.... (except for the DQ poseur ones)

	that just reminded me of this pic I found ages ago There's a video of it somewhere too, the blower came of a train and the guy put it on his camaro for a laugh. once he got it running he blipped the throttle and blew both head gaskets

	At the rear wheels it made 1208hp and 1057tq corrected.. Sweet baby jesus and the orphans. That's a bit special.

	Hmmm, that is a massive turbo and the car is also fantastic. You happened to use a picture of my race car's engine bay for the small turbo example. I'm not bitter about being undersized but I would challenge that Nova to go round a corner well! Charlie
