hmmmm...i doubt it. what gets me is he mentions on his last page a .501 reaction time (big deal) but no mention of a overall time and speed.

ooops i missed that..

"Bragging Rights
Quarter Mile: 14.93 s @ 94.5 mph
0-60: 5.8 s
Est. Horsepower: 285
Weight: 2850 "

seems VERY slow for the weight to HP ratio...you figure synki is running a 50 shot with CAI and Y and estimates 230-240 horses on the bottle and pulled a 14.4 at 96 mph...

From what it looks like, he only has some plug wires and a cone intake filter. He only lists Zex & MSD not being shown in his pics. He would have to run atleast 125+shot of NOS to get close to 250hp at the wheels. One thing I'm confused is he has pics of him at the track running but then he doesn't have any signs of NOS in his engine bay pic. I assume he took the engine pic while he was at the track. Unless he ran like a 17sec in that pic and then later on he added NOS and ran 14.9.
