You can email Chris s. at:
znines@earthlink.net

He basically has a 383ci LT1 with LT4 heads and intake, YS Trim, FAST ECU, and all the other goodies.

The other 2-3 passes were all 154+ mph.

I'm sure glad he did all my supercharger stuff.

Way to go. Sounds like Kurgan and Chris have that thing working really good. Can't wait until spring and I can pull beside. Good luck at the Southern Shootout. I hope you win.

What's the phone number for Eric, I'll call him and find out the details on the car for us.

Taner, I think Chris could drive it for four hours on the road with a tire swap, I'm just now sure how he would mount the 55 gallon drum of C16 to the car, maybe remove the hatch like Madmax?

I'm a friend of Chris's. So I just wanted to add a few things on the target of the car.

1. Lt1 or LT4 block
2. Lt1 or LT4 Heads
3. non-tubbed
4. Stock mounted suspension
5. 3400lbs raceweight

This was the target. Now I'm sure there are faster LT1's but they may not be trying to achieve the same goals.

As far as street car goes...well we can argue that till we're blue in the face.
