Seen this over on NLOC, its smokin to say the least, I think that was at or around 30lbs of boost too:eek:, how he keeps the heads on that thing is a mystery to me lol, Josh's competition is slowly getting faster and faster:evil

Well, actually getting the truck on the track would be a step in the right direction.

I dunno...it's pretty quick...but not really all that fast for the time money and effort to build a funny car. Something about spending a hundered grand for a eight and a half second ride just sounds jacked up to me...

Sitting here thinking about it, I bet he has 200 grand in that funny car.

You're right Rocks, but the yocals see it as a Lightning becuase of the body work. Kind of like calling this a 92 Camaro. Both are skeletonized, tube chasis, back half, four linked drag vehicles. JL's truck weighs less than a Mustang GT.

http://www.quartermastersracing.com/paul.JPG I agree totally with you guys. That truck is far from a L with all that has been done to it :rolleyes:. But you got to love what he has done with it.

That is truly a sick truck. But like tifton said, how do the heads stay on under that kind of boost.
