ed hess said:matt i honestly figured this was to be able to spool that turbo at the line. otherwise, remember what i said about flushin a toilet vs spool time. lol![]()
so tell me how how does the co2 help with spool up on the msbc? I saw the co2 setup in the innovative instructions but didnt pay much attention to it.

mhoover said:our turbo spools great! it went from 0-19 lbs in no time the other day in front of our house! so our toilet sized turbo flushes great!
the CO2 bottle is used, along with an increase and a decrease cylinoid (sp), to control the boost at different points in the run. there is a launch phase and 5 other setting you can ajust throughout a pass. the cylinoids adjust the pressure thats placed on the wastegates to control the boost. there are a lot of setting and paramenters on the MSBC. we have a lot to learn. we'll figure it out though. whas up with ur truck ED?
our drivers seat weighs 11 lbs and the pass seat is bout 10 as compared to the stock seats at about 50 lbs each. plus im too tall for the stock seats!

100in6 said:well, unless they all line up on the same day on the same track it's not really a fair comparison. jim and matt live in the heat and humidity of the south in tennessee. ed live in the humidity and heat of new jersey. i'm not convinced that tracks outside the US are as accurate. robert in sweden has great weather to make power. i haven't been to swede, but i have been in russia and finland in the summer and the weather is beautiful. finland actually is one of the most beautiful places on earth i've ever been to.
sorry badnewz... but i don't know you so i can't bet on you. but i wish you good luck and don't mean anything derogatory. i'd like to know more about his sy and where he lives.
if i were a bettin man... i'd put my money on jim and matt. i've seen their truck and if anybody has more power i'd be surprised. they're all so frickin close. man that's a bunch of fast lil black trucks! robert always goes fast and has a fabulous lookin sy. ed is startin to go fast. never knew the hoovers when they weren't fast. if phil long ever get interested in really goin fast he sure has the brains to do it. altitude and heat and humidity make a big difference i guarantee you.
wouldn't it be something if they all showed up at national and had match races or just ran best of three runs. i think i would get out of my wheelchair and pay to see that. but i'd have to nudge towards doc... especially if he gets a better driver(you know i'm just bustin your balls matt...)
does anyone know who has the best time for a syclone with a 700 trans and stock intake system?
