Wondering who has the quickest TPI based car these days.

Can have aftermarket runners, base, etc,... as long as its still a Long Runner setup. Can be blown, turbo'd sprayed etc....

Lets see some timeslips TPI supporters!

Based on replies, I guess it's you!

Is there a thread detailing your car?

Street Lethal's twin turbo LB9 is supposed to be capable of 9s, but I've yet to see a slip from him.
