Actually, yeah, Justin Burcham won the shootout running 25lbs of boost from a Procharger F1R/150 shot nitrous. He weighed in at 3786lbs and ran a 9.4/9.3/9.054.

Jim D'Amore with his Saleen Speedlab/JDM Engineering car was running 14lbs of boost through a Series VI. He weighed in at 3778lbs and ran 10.044/9.883/9.880.

All the other turbo/boosted cars were behind them.

Yeah, I've got the mag in front of me

. I was really surprised to see the Saleen s/c do so well (especially with only 14lbs boost).

Which magazine? I would love to see that. BTW the reason saleen is pushing 14lbs of boost if because if i am not mistaken you can't pass 14 psi on that s/c. Thats the limit.

its the newest form of s/c in the market. It works just like an engine but the other way around. It has 4 pistons on every corner which compress the air in. It has some gears which are run by a pulley that goes around the s/c moving the pistons up and down. When the the engine is stroking towards the middle a valve closes close to the center which leads all the compressed air to the center. And when it is going away from the middle the valve opens which lets the s/c cylinder recharge simililar like head/valvs on our engine. Here is a picture of it:
