Well, the grass was tall when I took that pic, but yes the vehicle is very low.

Cool, that's what I thought... I hope someone buys the car and rips some passes with it.

Not trying to insult the guy because his setup is extremely nice. But since you are on the YS wagon. The guy has better heads than I do, better headers , better intercooler and cog setup. He made 10 rwhp more than I did. The only reason I am saying anything because you always seem to think the F1 guys are not making the power that the YS guys are.

IDOXLR8 - Your observation is interesting because I've been thinking that the F1 guys, particularly 1BadLS1/427 who runs mid 8s, are making more power than us YS guys.

For example, 1BadLS1/427 says he has made over 1100 hp, when I can only make 850 or so and I have 27 more cubes that he does.

I am referring to the F1 blower not the F1R

jhelms, how'd he get the dual 3" pipes over the passenger side of the axle? I've always heard that 2.5" is a squeeze, let alone 3" mandrel.

Huge difference there too. Kinda like comparing a 60-1 turbo to a T76GTS.
Oh no, not this ATI/Vortech war again.

Jeff Georges in Atlanta (long time ago worked at SuperStreet Performance then opened up Thunder 'Performance' and now I think is working somewhere else, NextGen or something?) did the complete exhaust.
