That transmission shifted really fast. Some kind of sequential?
Looks to be a street racer?

Not sure on port but it's a 20b on methanol. Sounds like a clutchless tranny and it has a straight axle rear. It runs mid 8s.

Im going with clutchless, you can hear him bounce of the limiter in one of his runs pretty good. Its a twin turbo 20b on meth, 21psi, 943hp, straight axle rand, really nice custm intake manifold and and id guess its a bridge port... not sure, nice car though!

ben hunts car, its off chops fo sure
He had single turbo before and switched to twins and made good power, its built for the st289 class which has a 28x9 max tyre limiter, also its not meant to have chassis mods in that class but the irs guys can apply to have a solid rear end fitted for sanity
Dunno what its up to now, those vids are last year spec

Think I saw a video of him On the 2step and running 1 turbo now. Or back then.. Either way the car sounds badass.

http://www.fullboost.com.au/records.php?class=17 < this says 8.44 @ 161 for 2011.

http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010...oree-pt-2.aspx < this says 8.29 @ 171 in 2010... That is rolling out! But in all honesty, with that HP he should be a lot faster.

Thing is with the smaller tyre it is slowing them down a lot. Such a small tyre with so much power. Very hard to always get the best out of the car unless your name is Wayne Dyson.

Gorilla RE - your pretty much spot on. I have some engine bay shots from before its first race which my old man took on a Queensland trip ages ago. I'll see if i can dig them up
