Never made a full 1/4mi run....but I´d say it would trap in the high 110`s mph to low 120`s mph. Car made 426 at the wheels @ 16psi (crept to 17.7 on the high end) in a 2790lbs fd...so go figure. But this FD is in no way built for the drag strip

I just saw this car on eBay. That's where I bought my car, but the seller was a giant douche-bag unlike you. Good luck selling, I hope some super filthy rich guy offers you $200,000

Sadly yes, it's true..... Kenny has a new baby and some other pressing family matters that have to come first. So as of now, the FD is for sale (pending he gets what he wants for it).

And it's not "already"..... He's owned the car for quite a while before it's current state of transformation.

hey gorilla,
did kenny's fd really have a high flow cat on and make 426rwhp? that seems almost unbeleavable. had to be a resonated mp or something.

reason i ask is i am considering the stage III's and just want to know what to expect.

Update: The car is no longer for sale. my business has been doing quite well and has pushed away the need for me to sell the car.

Thanks for all the props.

No the car has a 'test' pipe i.e. straight open no nothing. I am not sure why they put that in teh article... They also said it was a CWS IC when it is a CWR as is Crooked Willow Racing.

I've had the car in it's present state for about 18 months, the article was done in late 07 though not published till 7/08. I only had 2 serious offers, one I actually considered but timing worked out for the best.
