Smile 11.30 1/4 mile at 142mph - Our twin turbo C5 Z06

Many of you have read the horrors that we encountered installing the twin turbo kit that the customer had purchased for us to install on his Corvette.
Yesterday the customer (Randy) called and said his car went spinning down the track to a 11.30 at 142 mph, and the track officials mentioned to him that he was letting off before the finish line!!!! Randy had never gone down a dragstrip until we built his car for him, naturally the 1/4 times will start to drop as he gets some laps under his belt. We hadn't heard from Randy for awhile, turns out he was over in China on business. Bob

His car will break the 35's loose at 100 mph, it doesn't hook at all... If he did get it to hook, it'd take forever to pick up all the parts of the track!!! The car seriously needs a complete roll cage. Bob
