Cheat? In a street race? You are kidding right?

BTW - Chief's podcast said he has no interest in Pro-mod racing any longer so for what these guys are doing the sky is the limit and there is no "Class" racing involved...

Yea....it can be misleading....running 3.90's on Nitro doesn't make it nearly that impressive! As for his "Steel" car seriously its a joke. Its got a Crome moly (ex-pro mod) chassis and carbon fiber front end, fiberglass doors, trunk lid, hood and a Aluminum rear end....just saying. Am I missing something?

Last time I tried a little Nitro Additive I melted a piston and my steel factory head.....A VERY long time ago! Lesson learned! NEVER said I needed a BIGGER supercharger just a more efficient supercharger.
Actually at Milan last year (September.......Nostolgia Nationals) I probably could have ran a 7 but my trans was slipping real bad (took my trans in the shop to be repaired). I was still running 5 teens in the 1/8 mile witch is 8.0's in the 1/4 mile for my car. In 70 degree weather (not 40-50 degree) and only 11 lbs of boost.

Just a side note.........I think that Chiefs race car is FANTASTIC and one FAST Bit_h, I BRAG about it all the time to my Chevy and Ford buddys....I also BRAG about Kinslers car, The Boss Bird, Butlers car, KRE's cars, Tin indians car, Leeches car, Scott Rexs car, Dick Fultons car, Roger Ibbotsons car....and the list goes on and on! I'm a Pontiac Guy I love ALL (well MOST) of the Pontiac race cars, I WILL always be a Pontiac guy! PONTIAC RULES!!
