So, who has the quickest TPI car these days?

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!

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