I was just kidding about the suit....I'm pretty sure it has to be for his intercooler....couldn't imagine a fuel tank in the passenger seat.

if you get a 7 out of a truck that looks like that you must be racing in a mine shaft. that big ol brick aint never gonna brake 7's
lets get realistic here,,,rember johnnylightning with his wanna break 8 second truck last year?
i aint tryin to bust anybody's ball bearing's here but c'mon 7's are you fricken nuts? maybe we should call a doctor to check your friggen head out,,no way can you get a 7 with only 1600 hp,,,no way!

Well the old guideline is hp=weight/((ET/5.825)^3)
For this Gen 1: Using hp = 1600 and ET = 7.99, I get weight = 4129 lbs
Yes it's a brick but I'm guessing it weighs 3000 lbs max so 7s shouldn't be a problem.
ProStock: hp = 1400 and ET = 6.60, I get 2036 lbs. Anyone know how much a ProStock weighs?

I just hope you put 1/2 as much passion in your post to congradulate (and apoligize) Ralph when he runs a 7.
