I read alot on that forum to see the nice photochops, and I saw no proof. So, uhh, yeah, I run 7 flat in the 1/8, but I cant show you a slip. Just take my word. :ugh2: ---

OK I read where he explains the 7.8sec 1/8. It was on the same car and same motor without this crazy turbo. He did it non boosted with a big shot of nitrous and other bplt ons. So, the car was fast at one time. I almost guaruntee it wont come close to tha time now. ---
