I am pretty sure its a Kenny Bell S/C on a 408 LS motor. They turned he wick up on C16 for the mile but other than that its how he drives it all the time.

Its always been a nice car. The original 408 swap was done back in 01 or 02 way before it was popular. I drove it on a couple legs of the Power Tour back then and NA it was s beast. About 5 years ago he was having a little too much fun and it got into a gaurd rail pretty hard tearing up the whole front of the car. It sat like that for a few years and he finally decided to rebuild it even better than before. He went with AM front clip, mini tubbed it and added the supercharger this time.

He hired me in 92 right out of high school to bust tires and was my boss with Super Shops for many years as I worked my way up in the company. He was a regional manager.

Yea 408 w/ LS6 heads, KB 2.8 (non-mammoth). Said it's about 750-800 how it was running this event. Had same wheels but hoosiers on it for the mile I believe.

Had pretty nice looking interior and stance. Think I heard it had Heidts suspension.
