ARAO heads finally running!

Just to let you guys know.....About 5 years ago, myself and a friend each purchased a set of Dominion 4 valve heads (now ARAO) and planned on doing some wild stuff. I had other priorities that came up and eventually, Bobby Simpson bought my heads.

Brett from Dallas has been quietly working on his 95 Comp TX since 99 and just recently fired it up! I know that the car is being worked on somewhere in Waco TX and is going to be a monster......This guy went all out in regards to his car and probably has over 50k in it. I'll get exact details of what he has done and post later.

I know that it's a super-charged lt1 (around 20lbs of boost!) with hogan intake, Arao heads, custom fuel cell, headers,etc etc.......To complete the job, they are waiting on a custom aftercooler that can handle the projected 1200 hp plus. I haven't heard the car but it is suppose to have a very distinctive,deep growl to it.

Its going to be fun seeing it at the track this summer.....
