Kleemann package is 4K plus install and the difference is closer to 1 full second on street tires. I haven't run the tuned car with drag radials yet but they shaved half a second off the stock times so I would expect at least 2 or 3 tenths lower ET.

Here is the link to the 140mph Viper run. Apologies that Cindy could not keep the camera up with the car but maybe that's a good thing.

Looks like he didn't spend that much. Either way it's his money and he sure as hell seems to be having a good time. People drop thousands on ski vacations and golf. Can't knock the guy for racing in his free time.
