HOW THE DODGE BOYS CHEATED; Mid 90s NHRA

[Ellis]

There's only a very few that know exactly how the Dodge Boys accomplished their cheating in NHRA PRO STOCK back in the 90s when they were winning so regular.
It was done using NITROUS OXIDE(Laughing Gas) as described here.
The Nitrous was carried in the block water jacket of the engine with water only in the heads. The water compartment which would contain the Nitrous was drilled into one of the main bearing saddles and on the exact opposite side another drilling was made thru the main cap and upwards into the intake ports. The crankshaft main corresponding to the drilled main saddle was cross drilled so that when it rotated the drilled ports would line up and allow the pressurized Nitrous to flow through all these drillings and into the ports. How was it pressurized? Very simple, it was put in at normal temperature of about 80 degrees and when the engine fires and starts warming the Nitrous pressure rises and starts to flow. Now there is also a spring loaded relief valve preset at a pressure which allows the Nitrous to flow only when the pressure rises from the engine heat. So you might wonder how the supply is replenished. OK, a special charging gun is used that looks exactly like an ordinary grease gun and there is a special alemite fitting installed in the block with a drilled passage way to the water jacket. So when a pit crew member is putting in Nitrous it appears that he is simply greasing the engine. You might also wonder about the Nitrous continuing to flow after each run; no problem it simply leaks away until it is all gone or until the pressure drops and the driver laughs all the way back to the pits.

i wanna see a vid of the interview when the nitrous explosion went off

[elliot magnum]

how do you know this,did it leak out of one of the nhra members or one of the wayne county members or what.

[Pomona]

is this how Greg Stanfield does it, a "team without a budget" can run quicker and faster than Allen johnson, Mike edwards, Greg Anderson and Jason Line? Something is wrong?

Greasing the engine?
You have exposed yourself as knowing nothing about internal combustion engines, much less nitro...

The Dodges were torn down many, many times during those seasons. NOT ONE TIME WAS ANYTHING FOUND.

Just another chevy/ford fan with sour grapes...

Well spoken Ellis, you really know how to demonstrate your ignorance.

so where did the extra fuel come from that actually makes the horsepower that oxide actually makes room for in the cylinder?nitrous does not burn,it compresses oxygen to make the o2 molecules smaller so you can fit more fuel into a combustion cycle.without an even more elaborate system of fuel running a covert operation,the engine would simply go lean and explode.so when you dream up excuses for chrysler engineering defeating chevorlet,think up why a chevy hasn't qualified for a fuel event for thirty years.why were hemis outlawed from prostock for thirty years,why won't nascar let you say "hemi"or "max wedge" south of pennsylvania?Cause="as long as a ford races a chevy on sunday we don't care...." director of competition,nhra 1971.so go back to the drawing board,check history, and tell me i'm wrong...the information that will come to you will amaze you as to how mislead you have been....

buy he way,the nitros explosion was jerry eckman's,the bottle landed in the dodge pits and alderman walked it backover to eckman.google it.while you're doing that,check out warren jackass getting caught with traction control,and stealing corbon fiber from jerry toliver=both LEGITIMATE facts.1969 dodge charger turns a lap of 256 miles an hour at talledega before every one runs away scared...68 cudas and darts are so fast the have to run in their own class in super stock so as not to enbarrass camaros and mustangs...if you can honestly dispute anything i've said please do.....by the way...the first prostock win by grumpy jenkins should have a * next to it because nkra banned hemis in qualifying for unfair advantage....the got a court order and won every race for the next 3 years untill they were outlawed....we dont need nitrous-just fair rules.....

[shaverracecars]

now that i've reread you're post i cant stop...prostock motors only have water in the heads because the water jackets in the block are filled with ceramic to stiffen the block,hence-no place for nitrous to be.unlike a chevy,chrysler big blocks dont have cooling jackets around the crank journals.the crank is up in the crank case high like a cat or cummins, and the oiling system is dedicated to the mains first from the front,so no need to cool the crank. but i think i'm figuring how you are keeping up!really, is aj and jeg on nitrous to?

I posted the above story using my real name of "Ellis". I wrote the fictional story just for fun to see how many would swallow it. I also wrote the below and built the car from scratch.
