Man, thats what the **** im talking about. Are you the guys that turbo N/A blocks and race them? Get some vids man for sure! How do you guys like running that old-style distributor? I think im going to maybe run that setup with the same Haltech unit. Some people hate the old distributor, others, like you swear by it. Thanks!

Clutchless but manual shifted. I have a video from about a year an a half ago when we were running 9's but nowhere to host it.

I think alcohol fueled cars use twice as much alcohol as they would fuel.
But I have no idea what he runs on. But just thought I'd mention that since that seemed like a lot of injectors.

Update from saturday: Broke the tranny but ran 8:36 with a broken tranny not bad. Waiting for the gears to arrive. Still had a blast with the models from our sponsor at the booth. People kept on asking if the engine was broken so much that my cousin turned it on and reved the SOB up to 12,000 rpm's about 4 times then mouths were shut LOL.

Are you the owner of the car? I think the owners name is Louis? If you are, we have never met but, a friend of yours is a friend of mine. Rafael(Rabule) Zayas. Rabule keeps me updated on the Puerto Rican Race scene. I also coordinate the Team USA pan american guys. Last year Pepeloco had a good time over in P.R. congrats on the numbers and keep us posted.
