This father and son team has been at the front of Syclone top ETs forever, since at least 1999. Usually one step ahead of the competition, and real nice guys to boot. They had gone 9.50s this year still spinning, and running 22 PSI boost. They stepped up the boost by 3 pounds and got a boost controller to limit the boost on launch for better traction. How about a 5 tenth drop in ET?? :stare

This blows past any and all Syclones best times including the V8 twin turbo nitrous trucks out there. Here's the specs:
Still running the stock AWD transfer case
upgraded from 7.5 rear to GM 8.5 rear
Stock front diff!
4.3 V6 odd-fire stroker (280 ci)
aluminum Brodix heads
GT4788 turbo at 25 PSI on C-16 fuel
8000 RPM thru the traps
Turbo 400 trans with lockup converter, no transbrake

Funny thing is they only made ONE run and that was it. On the next run the tranny broke (http://www.dochoover.com/albums/videos/aay.mpg) (damn those TH400s :D) but I think it's safe to say they should break into the eights this year!! :headbang
PS: Hey Keith, sounds like Dave Bamford really got it socked to 'em!! I wonder what kind of smack talk they will have now?? :devil
