  • @Drunken_Hamster

    If you still have this and are looking into upgrading your turbo, consider Garrett's "new" G series. A G30 should have the same size hot side as this, and you shouldn't need more than a G30-660 given that you're under 500hp. Alternatively, look into Borg Warner EFR equivalents to the G series. Those are even better-designed turbos, particularly in terms of having robust bearing packages. If you really want to eliminate lag, look into a Borg EFR equivalent to the G25-550 or so.

    Old boss back in 90s in Southern AB built same, but sandcast a monoblock as I recall. Welded cranks. Pavement dragster. Remember one of our wrenches/mechanics from shop ran it at Race City? and couldn't pull a wrench for a week because his fingers wouldn't unclaw and move after the weekend. I'd just started with them at that time. But I'm sure that's what was run then. Dave French, A and E Racing, Clayton, Betty, Troy. Jacques, Al.

    Back in the day there were multiple versions like that built . So there are more than 3 . I’m a Canadian . My ex boss had one exactly like that 1340cc . When unlimited open drag class was avail . When ISR . Limited motors to 1000cc . Plus 10 percent overbore . You could build a 1050 . 2 snow pro 440 making a 880 was popular. I no drove one . Competitive for a guy . The larger engine mods are actually not that wild a ride . Yes there fast . But can only put so much power to the track especially early in a race . And there mandated to be heavier. A small bore . Light mod like a 500 or a 600 turning more rpm at the starting line in a lighter frame is actually more of a handful to drive . The big ones are like a super fast couch 🛋.

    Great video! I know this is an older video and not sure if you're up reading comments but I have a 1995 Arctic Cat Puma w a 340 in it. When I started it up this winter it would run for a bit then die. I would have to hold the throttle wide open to get it to run and if I let off on the throttle it would die. It keeps on flooding. I've cleaned and replaced all the parts in the carb, new fuel pump, fuel filter, cleaned the tank and put new plugs in. I've adjusted the new choke to 1/8" when pulled up. Air screw is 1 - 1 1/2 times out and idle screw is about the same. I'm perplexed??!! Any thoughts?
