      What about the 10.5 outlaws? Aren't they running about there? I know they're in the single digits.

        that car looks capable of running 8's depending on how much boost and how theyre cooling that boost...
        ima die hard roots blower guy when it comes to my racing but..
        i have a little street car with a big block Chevy on Nitrous and seriously considering building a Procharged engine for it..
        i was involved with a project that started out as a serious 8.71 roots blown street car and it made decent power ..over 700 at the tire and had quite the wow factor at the cruises but the owner, seeking to make more power, had us swap a F2 procharger on it blowing thru a carb and just about doubled the HP!! i kid you not

          Shit, guys are running 5.20s in the eighth (that's eight-teens in the quarter mile) on 8.5-inch slicks now. Andrew DeMarco became the first guy to run over 200mph on a 275 radial a couple of weeks back and that was a 7.82/201mph blast. A 275 measures about 10.8 inches wide.
          That which you manifest is before you.
