I have no idea what he has, just going by what I'm told. He would not pop his hood, no matter what! The last time I ran him >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhfES34eDZw << he had the hood open. He had a KB then and now he's on race gas, he's claiming 21psi and I was told that he recently did a pulley swap and a 75 shot. But who really knows. Most people like to talk up their cars and themselves, not me. I just had a lowly 2v and I drive like a girl (that obviously couldn't launch it right yesterday).

If those are his true mods, is it possible to be at that power level? If so it's pretty damn sad that he only ran a mid 11 @ 121mph! Grated I know the runs in the GT were far from stellar but I would have been embarrased to run a mid 11 at even 500rwhp... but that's just me. The last time I ran him I only made one pass, ran an 11.71 with around 400rwhp.

i had the some problem launching my car last summer. I think its my aluminum flywheel not keeping up the momentum on the launch. i leave at like 5000rpm and it comes out, but then falls over, then picks back up

Same exact thing that happened to me the other day at the track. I was seriously confused. Even started launching between 5500 and 6000 did the same thing but much less. I also have an alum flywheel.

680 sounds about right with those mods depending on what KB he is running. Doesn't sound about right for those times, but who am I to talk. LOL
