Way to go! :-) Yep, the look on some people's faces can be worth the
whole trip sometimes. :-)

3.0 liter twin turbo is how they came stock. If he's runnin' 12.6
he's not stock anymore though. :-) According to some of the data
I've got laying around from when I had a VR-4, he's probably running
larger injectors, more boost, probably added an intercooler, along
with a high flow fuel pump, air filter, exhaust, computer upgrade,
etc. I've got some info from HKS that says an R/T Turbo or a VR-4
running 12.9 is making about 460HP, so this guy's got to be pushing the
500HP mark. :-)
Anyway, sounds like a fun time. :-) Were they running while it was
raining? The local track shuts down for rain, or if the track gets
wet.
