Honestly I had speculation myself at one point of the usage of NOS but after making more research and finally speaking to him we can put those assumptions to rest. Everything the car had was mentioned in a thread somewhere here on MBworld when he ran the 10.2.

This racing season will definitely be interesting and I am sure someone will improve on that 10.2 . The beauty would be to see a 4000+ lb whale hit 9's.
I'd love to see that!!! Capn' Ahab's going to be in your rearview's down 1320' like NEVER before


Hell that'd be badazz Plate on a White CL65..

That run corrected is 10.75 @ 128 pretty much mirrors Jody's 10.72 if you ran the same 60' he did on his run... Speedriven modified cars run very consistant times.. I'll bet $1,000 bux srt8 up, if either of you two guys would've had a proper CAI those runs would be 10.5x @ 130+

Sorry guys...never made it. One of those days...Life happens...Super Bummed. Not sure when I'll get a chance to go now. I really want to go to Atco too, because they actually let you run. If I go to my local track, I'll get booted after the first pass...
