Nice publicity!

Seems like the ride is pretty stiff. Has any suspension tuning been done on that car yet?

Pretty cool.

Where was that filmed? It looks a bit like the area around Four Peaks.

suspension wasn't dialed in, he had just got it back. It's in a suspension shop right now getting dialed in, they are re valving and adjusting everything, as well as swapping out the springs. Should float like butter by mid next week......

No turbo on this car. It's a fully built 1.4 from the crank up. 14.1 compression. 50/50 race fuel / premium.

It's fast and reliable. I might want to add a turbo to it someday but for now the power is more than enough.

Not doubting ya its fast! (its a Busa..of course it fast!!)It's just that 325 on a 14.1 1397 is unrealistic. 300 on spray is not out of the question.. 200 -220 on a N.A. 1397 is realistic.. If it is 325, ALOT of folks are gunna want to know the engine builder and what they did to get those high #'s, thats all!

It isn't putting out 325.Not realistic or achievable.

the motor was dyno's at 216hp to the wheel, but the tire get breaking loose at anything over 3/4 throttle, so he said it's 220+ to the rear wheel. He also did the pulls on pump gas, and it's running 50/50 race fuel mix right now.

I don't know what the actual numbers are at the crank (not 325), either the news guy miss quoted Federal, or Federal was giving him the numbers with a turbo setup, which is correct for a turbo setup....
