I have the pleasure in saying that I've drove that car like I stole it at the NHRA sport compact nationals in Pomona California with the Fireball crew.

That is Hubie's street car, it was twincharged after 1200 miles running it in, it now has about 40k on it.

Yup but at least I was on the track and blew it up and not on the dyno running it in

How come you can find the time to come on here I thought you wouldn't have any spare minutes left in the day

How's the wiring coming on?? When are you back on the dyno with anything

Was that you doing the filming? it sounds like you......

I cut a 2.0 on 18" street tires
I don't remember but when I got a clean start I hit antifreeze from a Honda that went before me and had to lift. It was at altitude also.... don't worry you will see the Devil soon....

No that was NOT me filming Hubies video, it was his cousin

I didn't realise that someone else had done a manifold like yours!!

Me and Hubie had discussed putting the turbo there while we were building both cars up before we got to the dyno.

Great minds think a like, you should know that by now.

Hubie believes this video clip was in 04, I haven't spoke to him about the spec but it would of been forged pistons and his SPI twin charge kit which he developed. I believe he said on that run he used 60hp of nitrous and was on 100 octane.

The trend now is to ditch the supercharger and go turbo only, as you can see this is real show and go

I could be wrong but I am pretty sure it was 125hp shot
CP pistons
30+lbs of boost
custom fuel system
100+ octane and a very nervous dyno operator!
