Absolutely amazing numbers isman!!

Can you quickly summarize in laymans terms what has been done to your engine / drivetrain to accomplish this astounding RWHP?

I am also assuming it was a completely custom setup? Approximately how much would it have cost you if you were not sponsored? (just an approximate number is good). I am really interested in how reliable this would be in the long term.

Here's the link to the race gas video and pump gas videos:




As for the custom turbo set up, I believe Mo / SRT was asked the same question over on .net and stated $40k to start. That's not including the car.

Race Gas at 28 PSI

PUMP GAS at 20PSI

Enjoy and turn up your speakers
