Students win cash making a MINI dash!

From uanews.org:

Winning in drag racing depends on producing maximum power. Power production relies on the amount of air that is compressed and expanded in the engine. The Fireball Tim Racing Team’s Race Specification Intake Manifold carefully manages the movement of great amounts of air from the turbocharger to the engine, maximizing horsepower. The team’s manifold increased horsepower produced in the race car’s engine by 25 percent.

They even won $1,000 for their efforts! Sweet!

From Hubie

All the components necessary for integrating this manifold with the factory engine and accessories has been designed and we will release this as a bolt on kit later in the year. The kit will require removal of the factory supercharger and converts the Cooper S to a “turbo” only configuration.

COOL COOL COOL!

Keep an eye out gang, this stuff will be comin’ atcha soon!
