Chris Chow runs the first 7 second time on a stock suspension G Body at the Street Car Super Nationals in Los Vegas!!! Special thanks to Len at Performance Transmission in LV and the boys from Norcal 1320 for the work and use of shop! The 7.97 @ 175 MPH left a lot on the table and we expect better things next year. I guess that Duttweiler / Precision Turbo Power is getting the job done. Thanks to Fast Track Performance, Wolfe Race Craft, Precision Turbo, Motec and soon to be Neal Chance Race Converters for the Press.

It seems like for ever since my last update and it has been.

My stock block was sold to my friend Shawn at it went as fast as 135MPH.

The car was later purchased by our friend Chris and was detuned for more street duty.

On a mild set up and with added weight the car has gone 10.6 @ 130.

You can even ask my wife =) this car rips on the street.

Shawn sold the GN to pick up a wicked TT SBC AWD Syclone.

This truck is amazing and has gone 9.4 @ 150 and is still driven almost daily.

At this time this is the Fastest AWD Syclone* (it has a v-8 not a v-6)

My Race Car has been on hold for a while as my wife and I tried to save money for a house.

I will chip away at the car with a couple bucks here and there.

This year I purchased a complete Stage 2 Motor from Shawn.

Basically I need Turbos, Wastegates and a whole bunch of small stuff.

We will probably not have the money or time to campaign the car but it will be set up to be PSCA Wild Street Legal.
