i'd love to know what motor he was running, and i guarantee it's a lot of boost... you hear that thing spool up? It sounds awesome.

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
