I found this sleeper in a Hot Rod Magazine and I was absolutely amazed by it. I think this is the best sleeper EVER, sorry.

That is a very cool sleeper, too. I just wish they hid (painted) the rear bead screws. I would see that car and then those screws and go "What's up with that?".

track temp 40 degrees and overcast...

right off the trailer it went 10.87 @127 on 8psi and pump gas
after a handful of other passes and shake down runs we turned it up to 12 psi and went 10.32 @134 After playin with the ram rates on the boost controller and getting the feel if things we put a few gallons of good gas in it and popped off a 10.16@141 on only a 1.66 60' and preceded to rip the tires off the rest of the way down the track LOL

all in all after 5 passes, picking up that much time and the owner starting to get the feel of the car.... there are def mid 9's in this cars future. And for it being a 6spd... Chad (the owner) is one hell of a driver! I cant wait to see a new clutch and a 2 step

Ill keep my eyes peeled for some vids flaoting around of it sunday at the track. 1320 vid should have a incar of the 10.16 pass
Awesome work Blake, I have been waiting to see the results ever since I met Chad at KCIR last year and he said he was taking the car to your shop.

Nice driving Chad, let us know when the suspension upgrades are done, that thing is going to be unreal.
