I have the means to run 6's the same as Marty did. The biggest difference is I'm doing almost everything by myself. I'll go out on a limb and assume he had help and expeirence on his side.

So after a little over 3 years of build time I hope to be in the 7's. I suspect I wont stop pushing to go faster. If a "good" engine can make 2000hp with these turbo's, that should be enough hp to get a light car in the 6's.

How much did Marty's car weight? If he went 6's with 1600hp I'm betting that was a pretty light car. 2600ish..?
