He's got a new video of the car coming Monday. Should be faster yet and maybe the taillight will be fixed.

Good god this is like a year old That car went 6's already turned into a funny car and then they scaled it back down. Should be in the 8's again is my guess. I heard they tied a fried chicken wing to the shifter to make the shifts extra crispy...... Just a rumor with no official confirmation yet but we have inspector gadget on it.

True but that's kind of a tough call because while the CCWs/skinnies and headers/X-pipe obviously save weight over the stock wheels and stock manifolds etc, the addition of a blower, intercooler, piping and fuel system do add some of that back on too.
