RDY2RAC runs a centrifugal supercharger, not a turbo. Race Related did have a turbo HD. It was very sweet and had spray.

at one time i had a sponsorship lined up for a turbo. they would cover the cost of materials and fab. and i would just pay for the turbo. but that fell through. So i talked to Paxton and got a killer price on a Renegade spec. Novi 2000 centrifical.

I read that Race Related's HD uses a T-76 ball bearing turbo. Are there any reliability issues with running that large of a ball bearing turbo?

Also, what engine management system are they running to use the 83 lb. injectors?

T-76 turbos are big. It is a common turbo that the big h/p(1000++ h/p) Supras run. The turbo itself won't have reliability issues, the rest of the drivetrain will.
