Re: Converter cores

the difference between the 8" Saturn and Opel core is the amount of surface area on the pump impeller fins. The Saturn has drastically less fin area and therefore has less coupling capability. This may be ok if you have a short stroke, high rpm , light weight dragster or altered but the Saturn ...

Re: improvement ?

Do you have any data logging ? if not you could put a video camera in the car , zoomed in on the tach and make a pass (hillbilly data logger, but it works) then I could make some recommendations . Most likely there are some gains to...

Re: nitrous converter question

those are very respectable numbers !! If you ever want to run in our neck of the woods , throw some drag radials on it and you would be at the top of the pack in our drag radial class. which by the way M/T sponsors our shoot outs and gives the winner of each class a free set of tires

I have tried to get him back but nothing has topped the dead fish , by the way he shipped the day before a week end so it took a total of...
