Default Nitrous is King!
Nasty.... Nitrous faster then Forced Induction for once... Is it a powerGlide or TH400. And two stage nitrous how much each stage, also what has been done to the rear end?

Very nice. Wonder if he is going to LSX Shootout? Doug from ECS will have to step up to
defend his title against him.

Doubt Keith's car is street legal or would even make the 30 mile street cruise.

Also, I thought a true LS motor was EFI ? I believe the record run was with the carb setup.

Definitely needs a exhaust system.

Might not even be a complete car at this point either, since it's 4 sale as a roller.

4DRUSH is right, Not an ECS car so it sucks. How can they even call it the IRS record when it has a carb and needs exhaust.

is that a carb? or a top mounted throttle body? looks like a FAST fuel injection type setup.
