That is getting a little old.

Anyway, back on topic. I think Sal's new setup would take the TX mile crown this year but he's a 1/4 mile dude.

575cid stroker with Twin pro mod 90mm turbo's....ran 7.52 at 190.1 mph on DR's with the previous setup....she's a serious ol bitch

















Well, you obviously don't look at what some people say very closely. There are over a handful of posts I can recall from the past on here any time a Supra is mentioned and people simply state "Supras are only dyno queens", "they only make power for 500RPM", or anything stupid along those lines. You get the point, but the key word in yoru post is "LOGICAL" car guys and there seems to be a lack of that on here.

That's a nice Viper but for almost 600c.i. and twin 90mm turbos that's not very impressive. How much boost was that run on, do you know?

Not an excuse, just a fact.

The knowledge base for the Viper is rather small in comparison.
Yeah, well apparently he has the money to figure it out himself so more power to him and his sick car. But what exactly has more development? It seems like he's got everything done similarly to any other big power car whether it's a Vette, MUstang, etc. and to begin with he's already got an enormous cubic inch advantage.
