on a strictly 1/8 mile car, would you go with a big single or smaller twins?

 

[ReiKo]

I would go with a Single... But that's just me...


You are about to get a lot of mixed reviews and opinions...

 

[sleeps]

i figured as much...would it make a difference with the build? or is it ALL up to your oppinion?

What's the build? If this is a grudge car and you don't want to say I understand...

 

[sleeps]

what would you need to know about the build to determine?

 

[weswhit]

I'll tell you what i was told by one of the best...
In the 1/8th mile, there is no advantage to having twins over a big single. You will however see a difference in the 1/4.
Take that for what's it's worth.

single

single

reasoning?

 

[Swampdonkey]

reasoning?

what class? what tire etc. I would and plan on running a single, there are advantages to each but most every class will allow a single, not all will allow twins.

no class, grudge.

i dont know if 275 would be big enough, so i was planning on either 325's or 28x10.5's. still debating between radials or slicks. oppinions on what i should do?

Kolivas just went 4.70's with 275's and a single. That should win a few grudge races!!!

hell yeah it would!

i would like to see what he has for suspension and electronics though...

what does he run exactly?

 

[west]

stock suspension, 427 sbf. do a search, he's a member here.

Since you're building a grudge car, you must certainly know how fast your competition is going to be, right?

How fast are you needing to go?

 

[1QuickBird]

I would say it all depends on your combo. I like big singles, but if its a small block you might want two smaller turbos...
Too many variables.

 

[DaleJr67ProStreet]

Depends on the size of your motor

334ci i would like to go mid 5's without pushing it hard.

334ci i would like to go mid 5's without pushing it hard.

pshhh ,you could do that with a single 88mm..

i probably could. but i want to be able to turn up the wick when the need arises. i want to run mid 5's with minimal stress.
and i cant afford a phenomenal set of heads, so I'm limited there. at the moment I'm looking at heads equivalent to AFR 205's. around that range.

i was just curious as to if there were an advantage to having a single turbo setup over a twin turbo setup (or vice-versa) in an 1/8 mile only set-up.

 

[BBF]

It's gonna take more than you think to just turn the wick up from 5.50s.. I would use a 225 with some exhaust port work. The GT55 91 is a nice turbo if it's in your budget. Twins are more fab work etc and not needed on a small cube motor.
