Second, the best part, is his quote on the speed. First item of interest.. how does a car that blows the ic pipe off somehow gain 25 mph in the last half of the track?? The coolest part is I obviously have my crappy timeslip from that day.. now watch his video and see what he quotes the time at the 1/8th... this is the REAL result:

Car # 2394
R/T .009
60' 2.192
330 5.748
1/8 8.376
MPH 95.57 <---- this is funny
1000 10.546
1/4 12.401
MPH 119.98

Oh... and just to save my sanity... this was my cars timeslip (Which I admit sucks but at least I beat it)... I also do have a movie of his car against a DSM... I think the Honda ran a 12.8... must have blown the ic pipe off again... lol)

60' 1.887
330 5.253
1/8 8.073
MPH 88.03
1000 10.374
1/4 12.307
MPH 117.44

So.. there is the truth. Sorry to shit on your parade dude.

Dude you have no clue what you are talking about. Yes, he did blow his intercooler piping off. We all went down together that day and he was looking for hose clamps because he lost his on the track. If he did not blow his IC piping off I think he might of handed you your ass. So, don't go ragging on something you don't know. So if you don't have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all.

I have yet to see a true answer to this... If he did, in fact blow the IC pipe off, then how did he manage to accelerate an extra 24mph in the last half of the race? From 95mph at the 1/8th to 119mph trap in the 1/4.

It could have very well blown off right at the end of the track. It really wouldn't have made much of a difference on the ET, but might have got him another 5 mph, depending on where it blew off at.
