thats why its good to have an aggressively geared tranny.. make 1st almost
unusably short, and launch it at ridiculously high rpms.. with a higher
redline, youre still into boost when you drop to the next gear, but under a
normal launch, youre absolutely right.. theres no smooth transition with a
single large turbo. totally different schools of thought, tho... but in the 7
(large single turbo conversion), i'm still getting sub 2second 60 footers..
which is pretty quick. (best to date was 1.7x on drag radials. haven't gone
with slicks yet because i drive to and fro the track, and just dont have room
for the extra set of rims with mickeys on them.)

Re: More New Scrambler Details
excellent idea :)- what size resevior will you run? you'd be surprised at how
fast it eats through it. ( i had a small 1g resevior because well.. i have NO
room for anythign else and couldnt sacrifice my washer fluid resevior ;) i use
it far too often haha.

Anything more than 1g is going to be a hard fit without locating the reservoir
outside the engine compartment. Wonder if the washer reservoir could be used
for both purposes? I'd have to be real careful and know what is in washer
fluid. If it's just alcohol then there shouldn't be any problem. There is more
space between the outer and inner fenderwell but that would require a custom
tank.

Re: More New Scrambler Details
Those are two totally different statements. If you meant the second
one, that's what you should have said in the first place and I
wouldn't have argued the point.
