The car never really worked. I think he is back to a twin setup. Some of those photos, if not all, are from Wheel to Wheel in Michigan (Kurt's shop). John Meany is the one getting ready to hit the market with "Big Stuff 3" also.

NMCA outlawed his Quad turbo motor. That's why he went back to twins.

He now has a twin turbo Monte Carlo...540 BBC with twin 91 mm turbos. he has ran 6.25 @ 239.7 @ 2550 lbs.. He showed up to an OUTLAW race to run Pro St.. It was all fine and dandy till he went a 6.26 then everyone said they were leaving if they were gonna let him run that class. So guess what? They made him go home.

He is currently trying to break the 5 second barrier with it. If he can get the front half of the run as strong as the backhalf look out! He is still legal for Orlando though .
