Dammit Grant why did you have to run a fucking .20??????????????LOL!! Seems like alot of guys lost the balls somewhere. Peace out bitch's!

This talk was already taking place before he ever ran the .29. I will have to say that I do agree with it to a degree. The nitrous companies have invested to much for everyone to just drop that program and add turbos. That would be the easiest thing to do for most racers but some of the guys are sponsored by nitrous companies and can't just change over. If we had signed a deal with a nitrous supplier, I would still be using the spray but we didn't find anyone that wanted to so that is why we made the change to twin turbos. I figure that if the entire program is coming out of pocket, why not use the best combination available at the time. The rules in most of the 10.5 classes don't penalize you for turbos and certainly don't help the nitrous guys so why not swap over? Our new combo is being built around twin 88's just in case this does trickle down to the other organizations and classes. I honestly believe that 88's will run with 99.9% of the cars out there anyway. Yes, the 90's, 91's, and larger will make more power on the dyno but then you still have to put it down at the track. When someone comes out with a stick shift car and a pair of big turbos and lays down the number, look for rules to change. I have always said that the right clutch car could re-write everything in Outlaw and I still believe that. Look at what BG has done. I know it is not all because of the clutch but being a master of this doesn't hurt.

Paulk is running mobley/ulsch 762 out of 02 camaro.Hoyle is running the same

I thought Jeff Paulk was running the motor that Steve Kirk had in his Camaro at one time. Speaking of Kirk, I think him running a 4.19 in ADRL with an automatic is saying something for the nitrous guys still being able to compete. The only other cars running like that are clutch cars right now and Outlaw is full of Bruno/Lenco combos even if most have less cubic inches.

Barry Ballard runs 4.0s with a glide and bbc on nitrous. Hes on big tires, but his engine is much smaller than 860 ci. He qualified at norwalk for adrl pro nitrous with a 4.09.

I wasn't saying that there wasn't quicker automatic cars out there on big tires. The APM Mustang that my buddy has is just as quick too but not on 10.5's right now and its a sbf twin turbo. I know Kirk's new car is basically a Pro Mod and I have no idea what the weight is but with an 860 it has to be heavier than some of the others in the class. I'm pretty sure that the engine and transmission is the same that he had in the Camaro when he was running it in ORSCA. Maybe he found the same thing that Mobley did. I think they are both heavily backed by Fulton.

Paulk last year bought the 762 that went 6.80 in chuck's

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I thought that Jeff had one of Kirk's 762 motors since his truck spends a lot of time at Steve's shop in Monroe GA. I guess I was assuming and you know what they say about that....lol I know that whatever motor it is, it's working well in that L/S ride.
