We wanted the first proto-type to be basically bone stock to get a good
baseline. Lighter rims (and other engine mods to help with the HP/TQ)
will obviously make is much quicker as well. :)

Ever consider the Centerline Forge rims? They are have the weight and
less rolling friction to deal with.

The 20" rims are holding the times back (and the boost)...but with the
8-9# boost, we're looking at about a 13.4-13.5 @ 100-101mph.

and .. that was only at 5# of boost. I love how flat the torque and hp
curve is too ... that thing would just keep pulling and pulling!
any guesses on a 1/4 mile time? I'd guess mid-high 13s .. maybe less if
it hooks up good.
