Street LSx upsets purpose built solid roller BBC's

Stock cube LSx taking on 468 BBC and 505 BBC. Some funny stuff

Then in the semi final with me, he pulls of a 10.49 and puts me on the trailer. Then he races Bob in the finals, some how beats Bob, collects his money, changes his rear tires and drives off for a 80 mile drive home. We are all standing around trying to figure out what just happened. Kid fooled us all. Very sneaky. The best "sleeper set up" I have ever seen. But he was cheating. Had to have a small shot well hidden. What pissed me off was that the guy that runs the midnight races did not tech inspect the kids car. He should have taken his cold air intake off and had a look. But he didn't look at his car at all.
I have to hand it to him though, he pulled off a good one, with a stealth car and a little cheating. You just had to be there to see this one.

So how do you all think he did it?
The Camaro in question is running a stock cube LS2 with AFR heads, mild cam(Torquer), 4L60e tranny, and MT drag radials on stock wheels

You have a similar set-up to "sleeper." What's your race weight?

Thats Brad's Camaro. I dont really know him but he has done port work on my friends stuff. I read all the whining going on at the 417 racing site... pretty funny stuff. He really hurt some feelings that night.
