Pro Street zx14 sets record at Rockingham

Without question this class is ruled by turbo busas. Well the lone zx14 put the smack down on all the field with a 7.19 at 194mph. Coby Adams tuning and Teasley riding the "NOS" powered beast. I talked at some length to Ricky Gadson about there zx14 turbo entry and they have to come up with a new header design or waste gate configuration because the bike as it sits right now is not able to dump the excess boost off. Ricky said they actually pulled the waste gate completely off and still made 450hp at 19lbs of boost.{it should make no boost without a wastegate.} I predict once they fix that problem it will be a major contender for the title.

how would it make no boost with out a gate on it, it should just make as much boost as the turbo makes on that motor right???

Because al or most of the exhaust would be dumped out the 1 inch pipe the wastegate is attached to. This is what should happen but obviously it's not.
