If you are racing from a roll with the trans drive you would instantly be at least a full car behind me before you started accelerating.
I hope no one is thinking I am hating on turbos. I am the biggest turbo fan out there. No belt breakage, no belt slip, no belt hp loss, adjustable boost on the fly, perfectly happy at 600hp or twist the knob and see 1200hp. If the hellion kit was available when I was ready it is what I would be running.
About the lag. With traction there is a dramatic difference between leaving at 800hp or leaving at 500hp with a 1/2sec rise to 800hp. What I was trying to say above was how easy it is to do a rolling brake boost and leave at full power. Being able to do this removes the only advantage a big screw blower might have had in a roll race.
I can’t believe there aren’t a pile of people running this kit already.
