I would guess both the amp and the car are running NOS :lol:

Don't laugh but honestly, years ago out of curiousity I did hang a nitrous fogger nozzle in front of the carb on a push mower just to see what would happen. I got a kick out watching the RPM's rise. I did install a NOS Sneaky Pete system on a Honda Ruckus for someone that had more money than common sense.

In our 32watt Version (FSX30) with 4 6V6GT's we have approx 360VDC on the plates. They may tolerate 408 or higher on the plates, but as was previously stated using 4 6V6's to get that 50watts may not get you the sweetness of tone that the 6V6's can provide. IMHO. BTW, the two 10K 2 Watts for half power worked out great! Thx!

Mark, I just watched this again and I thought of your comment. Here's one of my fav turbo cars, 100% street legal. It looks just as good in person as it does on video. The audio quality of the under car video is great.

Holy crap!

That is amazing.

A friend of mine had a nice 66 Nova, my favorite year for that car.

Although his was probably a 14 second car. :lol:

I can't imagine going 211 mph in that car!!! :shock:


Watch the keys in the ignition when he makes a pass.

Don't let that smoke out!

Watch the keys in the ignition when he makes a pass.

It has the original body steel except for the floorpans and the firewall which are carbon fiber, now considering he's over 3500lbs he's hauling butt. People think drag cars are easy to drive almost like driving down a string, but watch the steering wheel from launch to the 2nd gear change. He had to fight her back into the groove. Great chassis and clutch setup to keep that 2500HP planted.

I've been 7.12@192, but in a car about 900lbs lighter.

Watch the keys when the chutes are deployed, a couple of negative G's in action!
