Not really sure. I don't spend a lot of time at the pike for several reasons so I am not sure whom your talking about. I've been to Don's house more times than I've been to the pike on a friday or sat night.

Alfred's black SS.. I'm sure that may ring a bell. If you don't know him, you may have heard of him. Good guy.

Don you should just break down and do what those crazy scottish guys did to their skyline on the gumball 3000. use the fuel pump out of an F-16 fighter jet. i think it would be hard to max that thing out.

Yeah LOL. He says he usually can hook in 2nd on teh street when he was at 750 rwhp, but at the track all it did was spin, well past the 1/8th mile mark. I think the fastest that he trapped teh car was 139 or 140, somewhere around there... and ran a 11.40 ro something like that LOL. He said he wanted to see 10's this year on 315 nittos.

Would be a blast to watch you 2 go at it.

Personally, I'm hoping for 11.40 or better on motor, but at like 118! You guys will be running close to my e.t.maybe better, hell, maybe worse, just at 35+ mph faster

Matter's if I feel lucky the day I drive Mikes car at the track.I'm sure it can hit low 10's on Nitto's and 9's on decent tires and 8's with a powerglide/suspension setup.No doubt it will be able to make the power

So far it looks like my car will have a 370ci single Turbo setup that we plan to go well into the single digit's and still drive it to cruise night's. Then a second setup with another 370ci /ATI F1 setup. My car will be setup to hook DR's and hopefully stay off the bumper

Great work Don Looks like Mike will be happy this season knowing that no one could touch him and those who could are on a known short short list Shortly Don will only have to worry about $ for building his setup as Mike's will be done
