3.0 with a stepped cover and a 1/4 map. LOL Now wonder some people are putting 30' on the rest on the field.
Ok, say you allow bushings now...what then? The guy that's putting 30ft on you now will still be doing it later. That's not the answer, I'm with zstroken wheel protrusion is a better solution.
Opening the map can hurt a turbos performance...
Pulling is an expensive sport, stop *****in and spend money if you want to win. No matter what rule you make there will be guys spending insane amounts of money to stay at the top. Rules made to make pulling more affordable is retarded.
Whats the point of this thread?When they drop 2.8 most if not all of them will buy a magic cover and pull 2.6. Now if 3.0 class goes open drive line how many of them will do the same. A cover is cheap compared to changing drive line.
Protrusion is not the answer either. I can take an 80mm wheel and knock 1/8th inch of the compressor fins off and get it to fit into a 2.6 inducer. Then right behind that 1/8th inch put in a step out the the original 80mm wheel and have a 1/4 map groove allow the air into the big part of the wheel. Hp will be the same. Difference is I just dropped $5,000 on a turbo. I will pull both classes in the same night because my turbo will make just as much power at the 3.0 trucks that have "cheap" turbos on.
Here it is!!!
5K??? Geez.....that is ridiculous for a turbo.
Rule should state, 2.6" tip to tip...no notching or stepped covers. Use the same rules as the gas guys do in the Outlaw and Limited street classes.
Then you get into contoured wheels. LOL
Of course I know of 1 setup that seems to be ok working with a contoured wheel.
The other folks that I know that tried the high trim compressor wheels have either sold them or have at least taken them off of the trucks.

Exducer limit is the only way to "fix" the 2.6" class.
Untill somebody is willing to tech it though and an exducer limit becomes the rule, all this other talk is pissing in the wind.
The easiest way this:
"Any puller can buy any other pullers turbo up to 2 hours the class is finished pulling at each event, for the set price of $1500."
