Sweet, your a fool.
TT Sixes are infinately tunable (look at all the 1000bhp Supras around)
S/Charge V8's put out less power by a long shot. You Twin Turbo that V6 'tang and it will beat the 5.7 s/c hands down, turbo's provide so much more power, and are lighter than supercharger mechanisms (both require intercoolers or chargecoolers, but high-spec s/chargers need water-alcohol injection and turbo's dont).
Ricers can't affort v6's. Real ricers drive inline-4's (normally not even tuned). Rice Rockets and Ricer cars are different.

You're a freakin idiot.

A supercharged LS1 an easily make well over 1000hp. Bear in mind that the LS1 is a crappy pushrod engine that is many years old.

Also, basic supercharger kits and big screw-type blowers don't even require an intercooler.

Not to mention that supercharging is cheaper and easier than turbocharging, and there is no lag.

Oh and btw, V6's suck. You would be more of a ricer to drive a V6 rather than an I4.

I belive that with the right setup the twin turbo V6 will be more sufficient then the supercharged V8

But WHY? Do you even know how a turbo setup works?

Stop evading the question.

Bogan.
I picked s/charger over TT. I was DEFENDING Grez and disproving Ricer Kid.
I would pick a V8, but TT V6's are pretty firetruck special.

I never put the V12 option coz its only available to those 'elite' cars, a place where most of us dream of getting.The rest of the options are actually financially viable for most people.
I may have forgotten to add a rotary, but the V12 was intentional, along with the W12 , W16 and rocket engines before someon decides to bring that up

There should be an option for a nitromethane stocker big-block dodge V8.

sub-4-second quartermiles ftw.

Anyways, I'd have to side with the supercharger if only 'fore the way that turbochargers tend to do horrifying things to any engine they're attached to. The last turbo'd car I witnessed was only about three years old from the dealer and the thing had more engine wear than my '73 holden (which still has the original engine).

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Turbos and superchargers do basically exactly the same thing to the engine (force air into the intake) so I can't see how a turbo would cause more damage.

The cause for damage would just depend on the boost pressure and temp, and general quality of the parts and how well the rig has been put together.


Also, a top fueller can't even pull a sub-4 so how the could this: "nitromethane stocker big-block dodge V8" do it?

And anyway dragon, from a 100k budget you'd run out after 2 or 3 races. Nitromethane engines have to be rebuilt after every drag.

steel - if you can actually afford nitromethane as well as the dragster to use it with, I think money woes aren't likely to come up -_-

Btw, it's "dagon". No misspelling; it's taken from an HP.L. short story.

Bogan - Haven't been able to get an exact figure, but supposedly there has been a near sub-4 done on a NM dragster. Of course, the internet isn't the best source of -true- information and wikipedia isn't helping with it's zero entries on the issue. Depending on the dragster's sponsors and manafacturers, some of them use big block dodge engines, and that's what I was getting at. While they aren't entirely stock, besides the uber-powerful sparkplugs and supercharger they aren't exactly "omfg tuned".
