Custom compressor wheel on an otherwise standard 35R built by FP, makes similar top-end power to a std 35R but much more low end torque. Check the FI section here for a thread I started a while ago.

There is, but nothing major. swapped rear ebrake drums for a hydrolic system, a few crossmembers have been modified/removed, etc. Nothing crazy though.

If your wallet can tolerate $10/gal. race fuel, great! I could really care less what you're burning.

I think his point is that its his street car, he's unwilling to put a cage in it, and he's done nothing but good streetable power mods to run 9's. He also has a mostly gutted drag evo that runs 8's.

I'm pretty sure its empty, he's adamant that there was no nitrous used.
