I think that in comparison to others in this area we are pretty tame when it comes to "dick wagging." This particular instance of public nudity was based upon the taunting that took place before said race. Had the passenger of this car (please note Kenny did not make any comments, and is a very nice guy) not told Kyle "you better make sure your nitrous is on" and "there is no replacement for displacement" we would have likely stuck to our normal modest behavior ;)

Once again, my passenger didn't say anything...that was Fast Mark stirring the pot. I was right there and saw/heard it. Don't start saying stuff that isn't true now :)

Cool, the owner is finally here.
Badass car, i hope to build something like that in the future, congrats and enjoy the ride, we all know perfectly well that you could turn that bitch up and have an insane car, i would say applause for having enough self control to leave it on "low power" levels and having fun with it.

2 psi is like 60 whp!

It makes 50whp per lb of boost.

Hopefully it does that for the next few psi when we go to turn up the boost.

Kenny probably has them. I don't think he will really run it on the street or track at the 18psi level, the car was already traction limited at 895whp. I think he is going to try to run it at the 13.5 psi level that he backed it down to until he can get tranny that will hold the power he is making on slicks without shattering on the launch.

Here's the newest sheets from last night...like Shane said, I won't be running 18 psi on the street, I'm probably going to have to bring the boost back down to 11.5 psi after I try out the 13.5 psi...I'm sure it will be just stupid to watch at the track...no traction with my new DR's

Anyways, here ya go!
