Video of Roots car

http://members.aol.com/rooster433/eaton.mov

thats a second gear (automatic) pull from 28ish - 77mph

Damn that thing looks like it pulls! Sounds great too. Are there any downfalls that you have now that you are running that eaton, such as not having windshield wipers or something, from cutting up the cowl

eh, not really

It still has windshield washers and everything. Everything works like its supposed to.

BTW. thats without the alcohol turned on. the blower was getting warm after 4 pulls like that.

Any pics or any other vids of the car? Sounds sweet..

What is that guage we are looking at, and what do the numbers mean? You see how it pins the guy to the seat?! Damn:bow:

the one in the AC vent is boost and its sitting on 9psi.. sometimes it hits 10 but heat gets back down to 9.

I'm talking about the gauge that the guy is holding in his hand.

That's an AFR gauge.

Yeah i should really spend more time on tuning it..

I've tuned it a little more here lately to around a 11.7 or so. Just trying to keep things safe.

9-10lbs of boost, non intercooled, with 9:1 pistons is kinda wild for pump gas.. especially with a eaton.

linky no worky

yes it does.. get quicktime

I have quicktime.. will try again

just curious, why a roots? did you have an extra laying around the house or what?

different, but cool;)

different, but cool;) I can't speak for Rooster, but I would love to have one. Instant full boost is enough reason for me, no boost drop between gears, awesome torque numbers, no oil changes required for 100,000 miles on this self contained unit. I'm sure there's more reasons but these are some to name a few. If I'm not mistaken he did this at a very cheap price. The only disadvantage(if you want to call it that) is having to upgrade to a 12 bolt to hook up all that torque

Where did you find that setup? Show some engine pics, i'm curious to see how the setup looks.

I built/ designed it

Look at that other link for pictures
