    The futures bright - The futures Procharger

    Promised myself one of these for 2006 (well I REALLY need to get seat time in the car that should be debuting... soonish)
    This is the way forward http://www.procharger.com/chevy_nova.shtml
    Same size engine as mine - but check out the BHP and this car weighs 500/600lbs more than mine.....
    Ooh - and visited a new chassis shop today, genuine reason, picked up a switch panel for the ignition, lights, fans, pumps and nitrous, then found out that hes cheaper than the lads im using at the moment, and closer and has 7 permie staff working there so turnover is MUCH quicker.
    Anything from small fabrication work to LeMan cars (was a full carbon fibre circuit racer in today)

    The current estimate is 600/625bhp NA - though thats using desktop dyno (though it is quite accurate). Had considered going for a nitrous setup - but with the amount I would be using on each run, it will work out expensive in the long run.
    Current train of thought is to get this engine up and running - learn a lot next year and (if I can afford it) go procharger in 2006, hopefully using most of this engine, just changing pistons and cam for forced induction items
