Jim Fulmer said:Na I didn't watch the Vid I was there but I didn't hear the N2O back fire.....my bad. It seems that it works well for the #2 only guys but not near was well as the N20 guys......no wastegated housing, that would make it that much better or put on it.
Heck even my Bullet doesn't works that great with N20 and normal gate settings.....way too much boost!

Tony Burkhard said:Well ok, but chalk the A5K for three years in a row for TTPA Points champ turbo. :shake:
Im not saying there isnot anything better out there but it has proven to be a good performer.
TAZMAN10 said:I'm sure there are a lot of great chargers out there but the A5K has a good track record and a lot of support data. The new A6K will be a little better but I know there are some chargers being tested right now that will also perform well. Mine held up for amost 2 years and I self destructed it testing RPM limits. I know of a common rail 2006 Dodge that just dynoed 687HP on a A5K with a single CP3 and a few other mods. I think the common rail Cummins is the one to watch this year and a A5K seems to work extremly well on them.

Sledpuller said:They were alot of other pulls that they didn't make top 5. Or maybe its the Duramax and the Alllison that are making that turbo look good?
I think its a fine turbo, but Tomacs statement, was abit too broad!!!!Sort of like the "year of the Duramax' we've been waiting for.
The Chevys are doing well, and have some impressive wins, but I do not see the domination that was predicted- for 3 years now.
Tomac, Ric, Tony- have you guys peaked? Or do you have more for us?oke: :bow:
Micheal Tomac said:But there are several Duramax pullers out there that are trying to reinvent the wheel for the street class instead of going with a proven setup.
codyn said:where would this sport be with everyone going with a proven setup? why not try to find something else that might work better. whats the proven setup?
TopFueler said:Talked to DHRA and NAPM in the last few weeks. They told me that they will not allow any plugs at all. We do have a turbo we call our Mega Shaft it's made out of a S400 frame and works very well also. Also my turbo dept. has been successful taking a Stock Duramax turbo and installing a K31 comp. wheel and a larger turbine shaft. We have not tested it yet but it does look very good on the surface.
