That's Lee Howie.I have seen that car run many times.His shop,is 10 minutes from my house.I have personally seen it go 7.41@188 mph in the 1/4.The car is wicked fast and consistent.He owns TNT at National Trails.How about running 7.42s on a 7.41 dial.Car is a sbc in the 400ci range with a 101- 106mm big thumper(not certain which).Boost is in the 30+ psi range.Tranny is a glide with 2-piece Neal Chance convertor.Lee is a soft spoken guy that carries a very big stick.Guys drive hundreds of miles to have him tune their FI cars. EDIT car makes 1800hp to the ground and has a 9 inch conversion also.Factory IFS cant take that much mojo. :p
