If you would stick to one common goal you would have already had something going....but then you wouldn't be able to bench race like you specialize in instead of actually racing something.

I bought the STS kit cause I wanted one anyway and it was too good of a deal to pass up and since I would need it down the road anyway I couldnt see passing it up. The "bench-racing" will beginning of next month. With that said I am done explaining my reasons for doing what I have done, they are my own and that is all that matters, **** anyone else that has a problem how I have managed my setups, its my money

He is running a 5.7 ls1 with 9.1 compression, 225cc afr heads, 248/256 duration 600/610 lift, 114 lsa,1.8RR, forged bottom end, GT70 sts turbo, 15 psi, A2A intercooler, headers, t56, 3.42 gears, 112 octane. He is on sts's website, furious motorsports. How the hell did he do that?
that's almost 2000lbs lighter than Cody's truck -- so just think 12.06... Plus 112 octane, HUGE cam for the cubes, forged bottom end... Even so it's an awesome run. What you don't get from that snippet is what may have happened at the other end of the track
