About this Previous Vehicle:
BEST Turbo Pass: 9.44@143mph with current turbo setup
Project "Dragula" was purchased in early 2000 with about 25,000 miles on the odometer. The car was left stock for a month, and then the transformation commended. Currently Dragula makes 867rwhp with a custom turbocharger setup.

SOLD!!!!
Yes, it's the end of an era. I sold Project Dragula last night to a local racer who plans to run an outlaw 10.5 drag radial class with the car, so in the near future the car will receive a new BBC heart.
I'm sorry to see the car go, but honestly, I let the car get too unstreetable and it became hard to drive on the street.
I will be focusing on building a very fast street car or two that trap 145mph.

All blowed up
Sadly Dragula is blown up. I broke the turbo, which I thought was sturdy enough to go mid 8's but apparently it was not up to the task. I am deciding what to do next, but I'm liking this GLD 8.20 cap class.

What a MONSTER!
So, Mr. LS1Tech, sweet turbo 'Bird, sorry hear it's sold.
One badass, wicked Formula!
Very nice man, ive been a fan of your car for awhile over on LS1tech.
Made some NHRA license passes this past Saturday, one of which was a 10.05@137.7mph wtih 16psi and 93 pump gas. I melted a vacuum line and have too much oil running thru the turbo so I have to fix a few things before I run again.
