SPORTY 189MPH New MPH Record!

C/P from ausrotary...
First Pass for Sporty tonight
Car ran 7.46 @ 189mph which gives them now both the 13B ET & MPH world record.
Car only ran 1.27 in the 60ft which is why the ET is a little slow for the MPH

Wow! Wonder how much horsepower the little 13B makes? Chrispeed! Do you know anything about the set up?

didn't you ever see the picture that LUPE (now VikingWarHammer) posted of the rotor with a hole punched clean through one face as a result of the combustion pressure at 52psi of boost? INSANE.

btw, that video is pretty sweet. Crispeed, do you know any internal specifics? Ernie-T is running in that boost range, isn't he? He's only making 700-750rwhp, so i'm assuming that the drag car has a huge race port or a full bridge and an even more monsterous (i think Ernie-T is running the GT42R with the 102mm wheel) turbo.
