Exclamation **LMR Twin Turbo Firebird runs 4.45 @174mph**

We set new personal best this weekend in Mississippi and qualified number 4 out of a 32 car field. We made it through 3 rounds of eliminations before getting knocked out. Track was AMAZING! Enjoy.

Damn awesome work CONGRATS for a perfect run , it's really time to see this thing in the 6s@200+mph
Is this with the smaller 80mm turbos? Powerglide trans? Geared for 1/8 or 1/4?

Looks like Steven is checking the steering wheel to make sure it doesnt come off at 0:38

We have this baby geared for 1/4 mile. We are heading to Las Vegas for street car super nationals in 2 weeks. We plan on running well into the 6's~!

At the past couple races we had to run 80mm reducers, this will not be the case in Vegas.

Oh ya, I check the steering wheel like 10 times before I stage car because of this incident a few years back.
