boosted on stock internals?
why can you put a downing atlanta SC on but no-one will turbo it, because of the high compression ratio.

It's not running stock internals.

Just Awesome, I want your car!. Can you imagine running across that thing on the street?.
Any idea what your 1/4 mile time would me with that?

We don't have an idea at this point and don't have any plans to figure it out. We don't see any venues that combine road racing with drag strip and it's a hassle to haul it out for a few 1/4 mile runs. We know it tops out some place north of 132 and it should be past 150. Not in the 1/4 of course.
