WOW !! I'm impressed ! I don't know s**t about the guy or the car but mid 8's is sick . I can't see the videos but I can hear one . I'm just used to seeing high dollar supras that have a lot of money in them but don't seem to be that rewarding . It would be very impressive to see someone go absolutely nuts with a big ls1 . Harlan's car is sick , but I believe the ls1 community can kick it up a notch . I wish I could afford to build a sick race car .

those 6 bangers can be sick
cal hartlines full interior street driven grand national was running mid 8s at 160+ in a car that weighs atleast a good 300-400lbs more than markos ride.
hopefully one of our top dawg 4th gens will break the 7's soon.

Thanks guys for all the kind words. Yes the car was driven to and from the track when it ran the 8.45. Yes the car has been driven over 5000 miles this year, valet parked at many Chicago clubs. Yes he has a ton of money in it but we have pushed the envelope further than anyone and research cost money.
The car made over 1400 RWHP from 6800 - 9500. Going down the track it is never below 7500. The dyno graph is time based so the curve looks narrow. Trust me it was not. With the proper torque converter, a 2700 rpm power band is more than enough. We can rev it higher if needed.

John, we use Ferrea valves..... Ferrea lists them as "special alloy" whatever that means!

1500hp and it will run 12's.
Frickin' dyno queens...
