Yes that is John Shepherd. he has been competing in the street class IDRC/SCIN, and every other big event there is. The only car to beat him is the supra from earlier this year, this is why he went with a new setup. I had John build the tranny in my dsm, and he know's his $hit! It is a stock 122ci 2.0...forged internals of course, a T-4 turbo through Forced Performance, he runs est 30-35psi, a 250 shot, maybe larger now, and a BJ's race head. He's making almost 1000awhp...very nice guy and knows his stuff. Check out www.shepracing.com for some of his other vids...i think he's got a 9.0 in car vid too...
