Default Fastest stock bottom end FI car = Mike B. ???

Friend Mike B. went to Norwalk with us on Monday. His car is a 2002 CE T/A with completely stock bottom end, heads/cam, Incon Stage 1 kit (about 10psi), and Rossler TH400.

He ran a best of 10.22 @ 136 and backed it up with a 10.27. This is foot braking the car! Quite sure he'd be in the 9's with a loose converter and t-brake.

And Mike's car looks as good as it runs. Very meticulous details and customization all done by Mike. He will be at the shootout on the 31st in BG.

A few things...here's what i know about:

- Removed bumper supports
- Tubular K
- !ABS, !A/C, !rear seats, !emissions

- Added 6-point cage and 9-inch

Still has factory leather front seats and full interior minus the rear seats. I think he is planning on pulling the tranny after the shootout for a full manual version with t-brake.

He's also gonna try to remove a few more pounds for the race

Damn, those are some good times!!! I was going to try and chase the stock bottom end FI record, but this is getting a little ridiculous

My car will be up and running in about the next month...I guess the bar has been set!

Good times, tell him to come up here, 5600ft above sea level. I have run 11.76@117 so far with a stock bottom end, pistons, heads, only thing done internally is the B1 cam.

Video is pretty good, my buddy is getting use to the camera.
this was done on a crappy 1.76 60ft. I am working on that, I need to hook. 9psi for me.

As far as I know....I still hold the record for LT1s at 10.09@132

But that will soon be broken by someone else in my car
