LOOK WHAT I PICKED UP TODAY......
« on: June 19, 2010, 09:54:09 PM »
 Went with a friend to visit an old friend of his that use to race cars and bikes way back. He had all kinds of rare high performance ford and chevy parts. Then i noticed a familiar piece sittin on one of his shelves........ :o

                       

 I asked about it and he sold it to me for $250.00 !!!  It's brand new !!  He also threw in a used wastegate.   ;D

it's a variable speed thrumbulator, simple plug 'n play.  looks like the earlier 14-vane version that some say is the most efficient (note the lack of postulative interface module).  congrats, nice score!

 If the boost gauge is correct, 22-25 LBS of boost pressure using VP C-16 racing fuel.  A very scary ride at 150 mph
 with no kind of fairing to block the air flow. You really have to hold on.   :o

Man I know what C16 costs! Last year they accidentally charged me 7.00 a gallon and I was pleased.
