Running 7's with an 85mm turbo is definitely a record, Wormy's gone 7's but with a 91mm.

Yes, this is a tough crowd for going so fast on radials. I'm guessing you are running 315/60/15s?

Since he said it was hot i would assume that 140+ degree track temps will not provide killer 60ft times no matter what your combo is.

Thats a killer setup for going that fast in the heat. Memphis should be good.

I dont mean to keep bringing this question up, but can you give some more details on the turbo? Can you provide a video? Does anyone have a link to this record breaking event?

Vince, I'm sure it's legit...They race in EZ street OSCA and they are class limited to a 85mm inlet and run DRs. This is my old formula that Andre bought, Wade built the turbo setup on the car and Andre sold it.
