Very impressive. Given the size of Gallina's turbos when he had the first seven second Super Stocker it's actually pretty amazing. Gotta hand it to Holbrook and his partners for the passion to make it fly.

Those boys make some power, don't they? Very impressive.
It won't fit SS/JA, will it? LOL

That's hauling with a 2.9 blower. Looks like min required weight there is a tick over the BB weight, so it isn't stupid light.
Very impressive that a stick car runs like that on the first hit ever! |

Re: 7.96/171.80...
Guess Randy Wilson and I are way off track with the idea of starting over with an affordable, moderately quick ECONO MOD class car. Seems to me SS is out of the park. Needs to be a Comp car or Pro Stock type car...

Does anyone know what the overdrive % changes with the different pulley sizes? The 2.9L in the 2013 has a 3.5" pulley, the 525hp 2014 has a 3.375" and the 560hp has a 3.0". I assume Holbrook is running the smallest pulley at 560 hp?
