The car is a local Toronto car, and wickedly fast Ray is well known around these parts and I've seen the car run.

Thats a clean car, little showy for me but it has the power to back it up, and it doesn't really need an intercooler since its running alky.

Not an LSX? Hell its not even an SBC!

Showy? Its exterior is completely stock except for the hood, which is needed to clear the BBC and the wing which is needed to run 200mph+ in the 1/4. I'm confused.

Only 2000 hp making 1.18 60 fts and all this while producing 42lbs of boost on a 410ci with a 5000 stall. Oh yeah and ONLY 184 lb injectors. I bet i can count on my left hand how many parts are stock on that car. Man it must be nice to be crazy and have crazy $$$$$$ like that.

Here is a pretty good article on what it takes to build an engine like that, sorry still not LSx. I love it, no intercooler, 44lbs of boost, and they had ice forming on the intake!
