Still have the AFR heads on the engine.

I may be at BG, but the car won't. (Todd was never my friend anyway,LOL) There is no class for this car to run. I built the engine to test the limits of the parts we use on our normal turbo engine. It was originally started when I seen Harlan run his turbo car at Thunder in a class with a 360ci limit. Eventually this engine will be sold. It has been a great little engine.
To those looking for more info on the car, check out W2Wpowertrain.com

That motor setup would run so deep in the 7's even in a stock suspended f body it's disgusting... I'd love to see it done just to destroy the ls1 record period. Great work guys!

Kurt what horsepower level do you think your main brace/girdle is required for? Assuming an LS2 block?

Those numbers you guys are running are just insane....

The what the hell is? I've seen plenty of stock suspended cars that are cutting 60 foot times in the low 1.3's and now high 1.2's.. that's a couple 10th's off whatkurt's car did.. but with what that car would run, that kind of power could lose some in the 60 and still get well into that range. Even another 300 lbs of weight.. it would still be there faster then the hardcore car sould even sniff.

Sorry guys, inside jib. At least they showed the whole run even when they let off. I'll take more video if they'd make it out.
