I talked to Brent today and asked if he was going to be affected by the turbo size rule change for 4 cylinder cars in his class. He said he was, but they had already switched to the smaller compressor wheeled turbo at the last race and that it worked even better than the bigger one. He said it makes all kinds of power and boost and they had a problem with it maxing out the map sensor at over 60psi. That is probrably the highest boost ever ran on a 4G63. The 6 cylinder guys will really be crying when he gets a good 60' at a better track and runs even faster than the 7.33@190mph he ran last weekend, even after having a smaller turbo rule put on him.

60!!! Wow, that's amazing. I've heard of pulling tractors running well over 80psi but 60 for a little 4g seem like alot.

Too bad Brent never comes to Rock anymore. I don't know the whole story but i heard him and Corda don't see eye to eye.

There isn't enough shut down area there for his car either. Hell, trapping in the 120's with small brakes got me a little worried a few times!

His old AWD was all over the slippery track back when it ran low 10s/high 9s. Didn't look too safe. He doesn't live in MN anymore also.

Back to shep, notice the Nitrous pressure gauge is at 0? I want to see it on the spray.

Re: Latest Shep In Car Vid! 9.3@177.5
 

He was only spraying after the 1/8 mile I believe.

Where did Rau move to?

Re: Latest Shep In Car Vid! 9.3@177.5
 

I noticed that too. After he lets off, the needle seems to move slightly for some reason. Maybe non-NOS would account for the bog out of the hole.

Re: Latest Shep In Car Vid! 9.3@177.5
 

rau went 190mph??! holy ass

Re: Latest Shep In Car Vid! 9.3@177.5
 

That is a fast set up, I dont think he would be running nitrous on top of a lot of boost and meth, I have not heard of people trying that with the 4cyl classes. But as for boost, the highest I have heard was 240 psi in tractor pulling, Running staged turbos. But I have thought on going meth for my car, $3 a gallon and running as much boost as possible.

Think again. He just isn't running nitrous out of the hole because he is still dialing the car in, once everything is ironed out I am sure he will be at 40lbs+ of boost and a bunch of spray right out of the hole. In this particular pass he want spraying from 2nd gear on and on his 8.55 pass he was spraying after the 1/8 mile on. And its not a small shot either. Just because you are on meth doesn't mean you still can't use nitrous on a 4cyl.

Re: Latest Shep In Car Vid! 9.3@177.5
 

It looked to me that the nitrous gauge, to the right of the fan controll, did not move from 0 the hole pass, but I could be wrong.

John never said you can't combine Methanol and Nitrous Oxide, just doesn't "appear" to be on N20 in the video. However, im not on that 'invite only board' so I wouldn't know for sure, I left that board in 2002 when it got re-structured. It was fun to read, but the bullshit was way high, and harder to tolerate than 1/2 the crap that happens here.
With that being said, damm fast car! I am excited to see what hes capible of once all the kinks are ironed out.

Re: Latest Shep In Car Vid! 9.3@177.5
 

I think North Carolina. I think that's it anyway as it's overall closer to where he races most fo the time. South and East Coast.
