Wow... Nice video. I didn't realize some of your guys were running modified rails. We now have several different "styles" and classes of mud racing/boggin but trust me, any of those guys would fit right in over here, especially the guys in the fire truck (I think that was a fire truck).

That a big running start you get ... LOL. We generally only get around 18" (45 cm) of rollout. Some guys are still running small blocks, but most (including me) run big blocks. Some classes are basically anything goes on engines and HP. Pick your method nitrous or blower

A spin after engine tuning: As said, we used the intercooler and air filter off a 2.5 TDI, and i already tightened the wastegate. According to some British guys on a diesel forum, you'd have to turn the happy screw 90 degrees to see thick smoke, so they advised to start with 60 degrees. I turned it 120 degrees and with this intercooler i have some off-boost smoke (who cares :) )

As you can see its a bit hard to steer and video at the same time with this power on the rear wheels..
