Here are some of their cars:

Not that I fit into that group of ultra expensive vehicles, but someone is getting me on the track with them. I'm sure you could at least come watch their amazing cars run.

you said low 10s, though

good luck

you are telling me it makes 700 rwhp through a stalled built tranny, I assume that is with the stall locked? or you are saying the car makes near 900+ fly wheel?

It made over 620 smoothly, and then the tranny started being problematic. It put down 692whp at 22 PSI, but the curves were really sharp. It would catch and put down a ton of power, but then it had to shift right away. When it shifted, it would stall up to 5000rpm again before it put any power through again.

I don't know much about transmissions and how they work, so my explanation may be oversimplified. I'll create a build thread for those that are interested. Back on topic now...
