your ignorant if you really dont think there has been 200k spent on that car.... theres a big difference between having 200k worth of parts and having spent 200k on the car.... how many heads have they gone through, how many blocks, cranks, rods, pistons, and countless hours of labor (dont think that bisi has a one man crew here) to get that car to finally run what it does.... trust me, theres definitly more than 200k into making that car run 9's .
i spent easily over 15,000 dollars on my black 76 celica... but at no given time was the car probly worth more than 8k... done the all motor route, been there, done that, all motor is all about spending, respending, and respending again. i personally went through over 6 heads, 5 carb setups, and 3 blocks. not to mention the half a dozen cams and clutch setups. have had over rearend changes, and 3 different trans setups (not counting the 3 i blew up)
and as far as 200k to run 9's... i could run 8's with less than 10k dollars... but it wont be in an insite with a all motor single cam. and thats what bisi is all about... running the wrong setup for the fame... now with the F motor... i think thats changed... i personally love the head design...
and thats another thing... he cant dial in intake and exhaust cams separatly... so when he wants to change cam timing... he has to get a new cam made... things like this cost ALOT of money over time .
