I'm pretty sure the 200 shot of NOS helps greatly with spool.
He's also making around 800hp @ 5K RPM.

I'd expect more as far as 1/4 mile; however, that engine bay has been the inspiration for my car for a while.

Both cars have run 9's
Ryan Woon's (WOTM) old turbo netted 9.6X@150mph.
I don't think either car sprayed, I know WOTM doesn't even have his nitrous tuned.

As of now Ryan Woon holds the record for fastest 6spd street Supra.

SAAD SAAD's car is more of a dyno queen IMO, the car is not consistent (unlike WOTM's) is always breaking something (unlike WOTM) and probably cost 1/2million dollars over the yrs.
If SAAD dropped in an auto he would run low mid 8's.

Saad does own gas stations. I am not sure how many. After 911 some guy went out and shot one of his employees. It was in the news.

Thank you. The General is cool. My girlfriend says she's on a brink of dumping me because I have The General as a screen saver on my cell phone. She's kidding I hope! Heheh.
