Sounds good, 2.8 bushed, baby, double the purse, lets rock!
X2 sounds damn good to me. Especially since i allready have the 2.8
what if you just limited it to a s300 frame class? You can tell the physical diff between the two turbos. How big can the s300 compressor wheel go to? I know i have seen 71mm but that takes a custom housing ground also, right? This would limit it to any s366 from about a dozen makers and everbody allready has one. Only the big dogs would have to decied wether to go up or step down in chager size.

If your talking about keeping costs down low, this would be even more expensive as most of the s300's start out more expensive than the s400's, and they aren't as durable. It might be a way to go, but of course alot of folk that run 2.6 have already jumped to the s400's.
If I recall Sleddy's exact comment was.."this is not NASCAR and we do not need that many rules"?
Why are we having this conversation? .
T Maybe they need to drop the rpm limit to 4k

Tim no offense, but RPM limit:umno: is a dirty word at NADM!!! Long story.
This is true. HTT, and II Are expenive but everybody allready has a s300 framed charger. You can get a s366 from diesel-plus for $800. They are durable enough for the street and since this is a street class, they should be good enough. If the would do something like this, then i have no problem running the 2.8 class but as long as people can use a loophole to whoop up in this class, so are the rest of us. Maybe they need to drop the rpm limit to 4k because that is all the true street trucks need and wouldnt need s400 air to run.

(that is not an exact quote BTW, "NASCAR it to death would be closer!!!")
Why? Because I'm getting concerned phone calls about it. As is my duty to the class, I put it up for discussion, and as suspected, we are in the same place as we were before we started.
Guys, no matter what you do with rules, unless you build an IROC truck, and sell it to the competitors, SOMEBODY will find a way to beat you.
Spec turbos will work for small areas-that want no new pullers.
Personally, I think its an over reaction to good trucks/drivers. Let Evan Davis, or Ryan Milby or Bad Duvall take a cheaper turbo and put it on their trucks- I bet they are still up front.
Its the ENTIRE truck that wins, not just one component.
The 2.6 class literally has hundreds of trucks in it across the country.Many are adopting the NADM rules as we had hoped.
What I would like to see from the clubs is 3 class reps, Dodge , Ford, Chevy,get together within your club and come up with some good ideas/wording, and bring it to a meeting hosted by NADM. Date and location up for discussion.
The reason for the reps, is so we can get something done. 200 pullers all
wanting rules to fit their truck and ban their neighbor, is not a good scene, :bang.
Issue with the t3 is that you now will get a totally custom charger. It will be back like the days of the no adapter rule and you will go pay $2000+ for a charger to run. A competitive 2.6 charger shouldn't and doesn't cost $2000.
.. every organization and local pull permoter is not going to change every year like this one does!!!!
