Not exactly something they publish, but you can see their MPH and race weight to get an idea...I think they are running 165MPH at the last Shootout.

yea i looked them up. i found the car specs and 1/4 mile data. it calculated out they where at around 918hp. i did find a build thread in a HP magazine, SAM built an engine with almost the same numbers but with some juice. i didn't know if the SAM drag car was running any nitrous. if they are running spray then i think we might have a new record.

No, they don't run nitrous in their Orange SS. They were making over 1000hp on their dyno over 4 years ago, but they don't race dynos. They actually race the car in a class that prohibits nitrous and they're pretty dominant.
