i would agree with you there if idid not know how he does it. it is actually pretty ingenius if ask me. first af all there, are two fuel cells, one massive one for street gas (93 octane) and a five gallon one for race gas. the little one is almost always empty and is only used for the strip where the big one is nearly empty. i also mentioned each turbo puts out 1 bar, each one dialed down to 1 psi through electronic wastegates. each turbo blows through a small intercooler and then into two huge carbs. during races there are two fuel pumps for each carb coming from the small fuel cell. for the street he runs one fuel pump for both carbs with 93 octane gas. in street trim it dynod at around 800 hp. on top of all that there is a 500 shot of nitro, which to my knowledge has never been and hopefully never will be used. i hope that answers questions because if it doesn't i will ask him next time our team meets up

now frenchie, on the other hand will run everything his car has on the street, strip , or even the road course. that's 800 hp. the car has nitto 555 sized 245/45/17s on front and 285/40/17s out back and they spin real good. that car is capable of 9s. and by the way, it rides on black Bullitt wheels

ORIGINAL: matthockey32

old pre-80s TAs are badass. i know a dude with one, the same dude that built the french kids car, that is probably one of the fastest cars in the southeast able to drive on the street. it has a 455 ci bores to 515ci with twin turbos pushing 1 bar each, it is sick. i don't know what kind of cam is in it but i heard someone saying it has between 2600 and 3000 hp and the same in torque. and the crazy bastard drives it to work every morning
Hey can I borrow someone's BS flag?

btw, the TA runs the 1/4 in 8.31 at 173 mph with no nitro. and it weighs 4000 pounds. the cars power is rumored to be between 2100 to 2500 at the flywheel with a 500 shot of nitro. i'll guess it's actual power to be at the low end of the rumors. and if you have ever heard of Brad Brand his cars power is around 2100 and the rumors around Duluth, GA is that he drives it to McDonald's.
