    Of course it is. And a bad assed one for sure. This car is super clean and sits just right. We love it.

    If I was running a centrifugal on it though I would get one of Alston Chassisworks new gear drive setups that goes on the front of the crank. I dig them. They rule.

          It's got an 1150 and not efi, is that your point?
          The video didn't show it on the street.
          None the less, it's a pretty fast car and I don't care how it gets its gas. I like it!
          Thanks for the video.

              seemed dynamical from here.

              I noticed a twitch off to the left on the front..like they reversed a normal dispersal.
              I am obsessed with stuff like that.

              real draft really moves things. woops. no efi arguing.

                    I would like to see him go out in the garage on a 20 degree day, start it, drive to work, drive back home at lunch, back to work, then after work stop at the store to pick up supper and drive home all week.
                    Driven on the street yes, street car no.

                        That car completed Drag Week 2011 and won it's class!!! I got news for you, that's a task a lot of pure stock OEM domestic cars would have trouble doing - there is absolutely no arguing that this car is a street car, whatsoever.

                        Meanwhile, I think it's awesome he's doing it with a carb and a Procharger. Blowers provide consistent boost with RPMs so it makes using a carb feasible. Who cares if it's not EFI, the guy is out there DOING IT - anyone who claims this isn't a streetcar after all it's accomplished, needs to sack up and show us their faster car that won a drag week class.

                        Sometimes these sideline jockeys and their ridiculous commentary are almost as jaw dropping as the cars that compete in DW.

                              Scotts Car kicks butt and its Jakes Engine, its much faster than its shown they dont have it sorted out.

                              The point might be if you asked Jake if he wished it was EFI instead of having a carb on it.

                              But the Google boys are always cutting and pasting other peoples stuff to make a point that somehow they are not able to do from their own experiences. If you want I can call Jake and find out for you.
