Wow, that's awesome! Obviously, it takes some serious power to move that kind of weight down the 1/4mi. Do you have any dyno numbers with that set-up?

Took 22psi at that weight and DA to get 161.

With all the safety stuff (10 point, chute, etc) and kept all the power window stuff and AC...it peaked at 4089lbs with me in it...air to water added a bunch of weight too....plus an LSX block,etc...

I want to get it down to 38xx this winter but keep the power stuff on the car.

The car looked great last night and obviously puts up the numbers up to match. The attention to detail in your car is amazing.

I have a 10point cage plus rockers bars plus sub bars and I only need the 10point to be legal down to 8.50. So I took out the inner door bars since they are redundant. -16lbs. Then I talked to Madman about brakes but I'm concerned with keeping a lot of braking power since 160mph and 4000lbs is a tough combo...plus street driving. He set me up with a set of Pro 2's that dropped 36lbs off the nose and stop better than stock. Cut and powder coated the stock spindles since they only weigh 11 lbs each.

Nice job. What is the record for a car that retains A.C.? I gotta look into those brakes cause I'm kinda fat too.

You guys put on a killer show going deep into the 7's. It was a fun night.

The Speed Inc turbo kit on my car continues to impress me. The piping quality is killer and it's run an 8.x three years in a row. Speed Inc knows boost.
