O.K. I have to ask. ......

Saturday mornin @ MRM I walked over to the tech lanes around 8:30 and watched a few cars go though the lanes. I was talking to the owner of the Brand new "Dart" Nova that "BTW" made a 7.91 first pass out of the box. 8) 8) 8) . He said he had a 400TH in it and said "Rosler" was the best unit out there. Well, I thought I'd come home and Google the unit and see what was inside one. At least I thought he said "Rosler" or something like that. {It's that age thing again}. He said they were out of Ohio. Anybody heard of a trans. Co. in Ohio by a similar name? I thought Coan had the hot set-up, but I'd like to see what else is out there. :?: :idea:

There is a big difference in cost between the Rossler & the Coan (Almost 2g's more) . The Rossler site doesn't give allot of info. It would be nice to do an Apples to Apples comparison. Might have to email them.


........ never mind, I found another page. Still would be nice to get additional info.

Yup., I'm in no hurry. I've been thinking of maybe buying the Coan Rocky & I looked at, at the Drag Expo last winter. Maybe buying one next winter at the same show (Show special maybe). But, I'd like the check out my options first to make sure there isn't another unit out there.

I thought you were going to use a glide, or did I forget.

Rocky talked me out of it. It's all his fault. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually the rep. from Coan made a strong argument for a 400 after i told him my set-up.

pro, I've heard of Rossler before. They've been around for several years and I've never heard anything but good things about them.
Someone was just talking about them at the CFC board a few weeks ago.
You said there is a 2G difference, which one is least expensive?

BTW, pro, The guy we talked to at the Drag Expo is Dave Coan. He is the owner of the company.
