Yea but keep in mind the only thing the Speedinc guys had to do was change plugs and fuel.......

that mustang i heard went through a head gasket, driveshaft, and trans issues.

i'd take a 2nd place car with barely any maintanance over the 1st place car that has issues between rounds...

that's just me though.

thats some nice footage

We could not be happier with the overall performance of the car. I feel Dan and Jim put together an awesome combo.

The same combo which can be done for others...power and awesome durability all in one.

Cool vid. Dan and Jim did a good job in front of the camera.
The car performed with in a tenth of it's tech breakout. I also like the fact that they didn't tow a trailer! That's showing ALOT of confidence in your work!

A friend of mine who won another class said you guys had the nicest looking STREET car there. He said that alot of the other cars looked good from a distance but when you got close they didn't look like they were a real street car!

GREAT JOB!

Sweet footage of the car there, looks like a real blast

Hats off to my entire crew, especially Dan and Jim, who made this all come together. I will gladly take 2nd place in our proven street car, that is also show worthy, although maybe not after this week

I wish our 427" LSX combo had been ready in time, but that was out of our hands, and our simple production block combo worked out extremely well, and reliable enough for a great overall event showing.

Great work guys.
