Title: Nebulous Theorem 3.5 Streamliner
Post by: turborick on September 20, 2016, 02:07:38 PM
Our last test run @ Speedweek went to the 4 mile still on low boost. Hope for smoother salt next year.

Boy does that thing go straight! Very impressive for such a rough track. Looks like you had you waste gate set at 183 kpa (26 psia) so your boost is pretty conservative and which means a lot more to come!! Thanks for sharing Rick.

Great to be able to see the instruments so clearly.

Is that the same body/chassis as Nebulous Theorem 3 with a bigger engine?  3.5 litre?  Not much comes up from an Internet search.  Thanks for any details available.

Thanks Rex the camera really doesn't show how rough it really was. I had vision problems because of the roughness.
Yea low boost 180 kpa which is really only 14 psi when you subtract the barometric pressure.
We will be running about 300kpa when we turn it up

Same body, new chassis. We hope to build a new body soon. The engine is a 4.2 litre destroked chevy

We will continue testing with this body and see what Jack wants to do..... at the very least it will be lighter

Rex is right. The car does run straight.
Awesome to see that video.
Thanks Rick. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
