the car should run very good. i first started the build with just a front mount setup, but figured i should complete the build eliminating all the weak points in the car, to be able to make as much power as i needed without having to do more modifications later on. also have a car that will be very reliable.
this car was built to be multi dimensional. being able to drag race, road race, land speed events and rip up the streets. |

Is the big jug in front of the engine an air-to-water intercooler? Interesting how the blow-off valves are mounted on the IC.

j/kYes it is an air/water intercooler that's rated for 1500hp. The 2 smaller barrel air/water intercoolers are rated for 750hp each. There's a resevoir in the trunk to add ice when running at the 1/4 mile or any landspeed events. When not adding ice and running on the street the system will dissapate the heat the same as an air/air. The heat exchanger that's part of the air/water intercooler system isn't in the picture. |

JGK95 asked about how Trent's Stryker II compares in power and roll cage design to our Shop Patriot Missile GTS:
Trents Viper is basically an all improved version of the Patriot Missile painted over yellow with a removable top The rollcage was built to pass NHRA tech and meet Landspeed sanctioning rules. Since the Patriot Missile is a GTS and the Stryker II is an RT/10 the cage configurations are quite different. A major concern was getting the required angles for the rear bars going down to the rear frame and suspension points with out losing the rear window. We built a full cage in our road race rt/10 many years ago. It was going to be used for road racing only so we eliminated the rear window and actually went through the rear body. ![]() Our goal was to keep the Stryker II RT/10 streetable and still able to pass tech and get certified. The cage has swing out door bars and once the interior is completed I'll show the whole cage finished. ![]() |

Wow, all that and you STILL managed to run a diagonal bar in the halo RIGHT OVER THE DRIVERS HEAD so he can smack his helmet on it, and make it nearly impossible for taller drivers. Well done
Oh and so as not to cobble up another thread: Quote:
BWAHAHAHAHAH. Here is a list of what I don't like: 15ft of cheap ass aluminum cold side piping with from what I can see has no less than TWELVE 90 degree bends, As well as the "Y" that has no regard for flow diversion between the two banks. tubes that don't properly line up with the STOCK throttle bodies on a $100k+ build using the absolute worst intercooler cores money can buy, then mounting them with hose clamps straight out of the Home Depot plumbing section. Not to mention welds that look like failed tests from heli-arc 101. And a radiator that is positioned in a way that it's nearly impossible to duct the airflow out of the car, which will ABSOLUTELY have massive cooling issues in any kind of heat. AGAIN running both down pipes as close to the intake tubing as possible, not to mention running ONLY 3" down pipes. Cluster****? good god, if I had ANYTHING to do with that build I would be crawling into a hole and waiting for the laughter and embarrassment to subside to a dull roar. Cut everything off that car that has anything to do with turbos, start over and try to make something that doesn't look (and i'm sure function) like a 6th grade Rube Goldberg science project. See you in Unlimited come Sept Hope your car is up to the 90 mile rally, and you're not making that trip just to get smoked in the standing mile. |

Rogue, I understand nothing of the above but at least SVS Turbo is putting their money where their mouth is and has a car strutting their stuff. Easy to dis SVS, show us what you've got.

mr nutswinger. the diagnal bar comes nowhere near my head with the custom mounts for my race seat.
these pics were taken months ago as a mock up. everything that needs to be has been addressed for final assembly. are you saying that you are going to be doing the punting??? if not shut that pie hole and release the sack you are hanging from. also remove my foot that is between your legs. i could have had any tuner do a custom one off tt set-up for me. i know i made the right choice in SVS. |
