Default Progress on the shop turbo street car.

5.13@138 1.20 60ft. Launching on 7psi and 18psi total.
427 LS1, TFS245 heads, hydraulic cam, glide, methanol.
Full interior, full exhaust w/cutout, 3300# on 275's
Even though it runs on methanol right now it is very streetable and cranks
and drives like a mildly modified late model car.
Still very conservative on fuel and timing

This is with the new full exhaust and cutout. Very very quite. Most of the noise in the video is the fan behind the car.

What rims are those? Looks like champion bead locks, but I'm not sure what rims they are.
