No worries... It doesn't bother me. You asked. Just sharing what I know...
I've personally been in one of Mike Lee's nine second trucks that could be driven daily. My own truck is bone stock, and runs something in the 13s. No glory there for me!

I was suprised when I saw his setup...
Very clean install, clean truck for 15yrs and very enthusiastic owner. I think a stage 3 at 24psi could beat it. thanks for the feedback

Yeah- I often wish I still had my 93 Ty. It did mid-12s and was much quicker than my S4...

Black/Black was the color I wanted. But the Green/Grey I had looked good as well.
Although mine was only able to run low 13's, it was fantastic in street light encounters. Loading the converter to 12+ PSI and launching was a thrill and very repeatable.

Oh yea, one more thing....
I still have my Sy/Ty koosy (sp?) and the 1996 owners calendar. I had two koosy's but one disappeared year ago. The current koosy and calendar, which included the best looking Typhoon at the time and possibly today and the only one in Germany, will be retained forever.

One problem: the thing weighs like 2000 lbs and is a truck. You have zero weight, therefore
you have even less traction. I've actually heard of tuners turning the boost down at the lower revs in first gear in order to let them get traction. Basically, don't take 'em from a roll.
