Default What the Hell is Madman Up To Now??

This just seemed like the appropreiate spot for this thread.


I dropped off my new race car at Madman's shop for some trick suspension and a cage and I saw this monster sitting on the shop floor. I snapped a few pics as he grumbled a bit but here they are:

Pic 1
Pic 2
Pic 3
Pic 4


I asked him what it was for but he wasn't talking about it. Also I did notice the the front of his car was sitting high so the motor was out. Could the Madman really be trading out the bottle for boost????

He couldn't fit the 6th, 7th and 8th stages under the hood so he probably gave it up for something that would require less than 6 bottles in the car. That would give Cody the extra leg room he needs to drive that thing.

I'm sure it was hot in the shop and he needed a fan in a snap.

I've heard stories about this setup, but like Sasquatch and an Elvis & Tupac national tour...it remains to be seen.

Heard through the grapevine last night that it hit ~2000 hp on the engine dyno before they ran into a VERY minor problem. Should be back a bit stronger I was told.

No, it says engine dyno. Still, that's a pretty stout number.
