maybe he was running a powerful turbo? I dont know for a fact but id assume if you had enough power running through a turbo you could cram in enough air to get it that fast the engine would have to be made bullet proof though first

If that is true, he has a lot of work done to the engine. And there is no way in hell it is with the factory style TPI.

There are many TPI based systems he was probably using. The Super-ram, or SLP T-ram. All are technically TPI but not the factory system.
