hence the phrase "dyno queen"...but alot of people here dont understand the difference between dyno numbers and real world performance...he did put down what looked like a great mph, though..it looked like 137 to me?

he calls himself the supra slayer? ive seen supras run better than that on street tires.

the way that the car bounces it looks like hes running stock suspension...

true...

my dad's vette was puttin 600+ to the wheels, and was only in the 10's. It couldnt hook, and had other problems. But that is being fixed as we speak. (or type) All the power in the world might still only get you 13's...

too much IMO... looks like his dig sucks too

If you look at the end of the vid, he was on low boost. On a system capable of 30 PSI I am no surprised that with only 13 pounds there was alot of lag etc.

He wasn't running 1000+ whp on the track runs, more like 600~
