A later post in the thread admits the supension is no longer stock but people love to believe everything they read and hear.

When it comes to carb farts I would like to see how streetable this car is and whether it has a stick or auto tranny.

I assume our resident carb fart fan has a good reason to be getting rid of his manual tranny despite his large investment in this passing setup. I could always say I told you so but scott will bend over backwards to say his car is perfect at the same time it belches on every dyno run and track event not to mention his continual revisions to his setup.

As I have said before, with blow throughs setups they can be set up for balls to the wall WOT operation just fine but its nothing you would want on your street car.
Who cares? It's not set up to be a street car. No wheelie bars and stock gas tank and it's runing 7.80s with what motor in it? a small block?!?!? It's damn impressive and if you can't admit that your just an ignoramoose!

The car is tight, not doubt about it.. He needs to work on bumping into the beams though, looks violent...

Looks like he's bumping in with the transbrake while coming up on boost. I'm pretty sure he's leaving at a lower boost level so I'm surprised he doesn't bump in then bring it up on boost quickly (since he's probably blowing off the majority of the boost on the line), but I'm not sure how most turbo cars do it (and the Pro 5.0 guys make it easy, but then it's a world of difference with a clutchless lenco setup).
