Haha, its not mine either, but after reading the rolling commentary on CT ages ago when Anth was using Jim's turbo and the 70+psi pulls, I'd say that when they get this bitch sorted, that boost will be limited by where it stops makin power Sheeze I can't wait to put my motor together and try it lol.

Yeah Kyle is right - plus is is just shaping up to be awesome competition for the RB series from an engineering standpoint. Sorry if its already been mentioned, does this run meth or c16?

Tuff car though Well Anth already had the quickest VL with a single overhead cam! Instead of pushing high 7's with a single cam, why not invest the time and money into shocking the whole vl scene with a low 7 sec pass which this car will do!!! its just a matter of time... I'd love to see BOOSTN even try to keep up with VLGOD now! Quickest and best looking VL race car ever built IMO. Keep up the great work!!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Tuff car though Not to worry, if the rumours are true then his brothers full tube race car is staying single cam and we will have both single and twin cam race cars tearing up the track recording numbers never thought possible. Can't wait to see them both tearing up the race track! On another note, can't believe how this thing sounds! Just saw one of the videos and it is the most insane sounding RB i have ever heard. Also what surprises me is how easily and quickly they got the car running and on only its second pass ever it managed to claim the record with such ease and reliability.

It amazes me how a small amount of people are bagging BOOSTN. He doesnt own a workshop to build his car nor have ample budget. When he ran the 1 st 7 the knockers where riding his nuts saying how sick it was.Now they saying **** like he will never catch VLGOD. He was the first 7 sec pass. Congrats to VLGOD and the owner as now being the quickest and possibly best presented drag car out there. Im sure there will be some knobs knocking my comments but **** me a 7 sec pass is no mean feat

Yeah i agree with Calais to4 me. A 7 second pass takes alot of time, money and hard work setting up the car just right to crack that time. What BOOSTN did was amazing & everyone was freaking out! But it's great to see another incredibly well built, highly detailed VL running in the 7s, atleast it'll hopefully stire up the VLT drag scene and get the top guys competing even harder for bragging rights & the top time. Hopefully we'll see more BOOSTNs and VL GODs come out of the wood work soon Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

All the best with the testing and prep in the meantime. As far as all down talk of other cars achievements go, it happens every time any cult car runs a number, be it falcon, VL, GTR, everyone has an excuse or something to say about the car they beat. We all forget that its never the owners of the cars posting these comments, they do this for themselves, not the internet commentary who find it reason to bitch. I wouldnt get too stressed about it, they didn't get to running 7's worrying about everything posted on the internet 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

for those of us who have spent a fair bit of time in this sport, we understand there is a massive difference between jims car BOOSTN and anythonys car VLGOD. ones full tube chassis and light the other is a back half car thats a fair bit heavier. its not an apples and apples comparison, its an apple and a watermelon comparison. both anthony and jim are nice guys with their own goals to meet. both have great acheivements on the board and im a big fan of what anthonys been doing for the last 2 or 3 years and what jim has been doing for 8 years or more. both have achieved big things for the RB world and the Vl world and both understand the financial commitment it takes to run these numbers which most of the members of this forum wouldnt understand the money it takes up and the time away from your family it takes. big george haramis is a dark horse for a 7 sec pass too, lets not forget that. best of luck to both anthony and jim Shane Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If BOOSTN does come back, to be competitive he will have to turn it into a tube chassis like VL GOD. Same with RAJAB. If they dont, they will never catch VL GOD. So many **** talkers in the VL scene. Time and time again Maatouks let there cars do the talking. I think Maatouks will hold this record for a very long time just like BOOSTN did... Congrats boys!

So how light can it be?? When maatouk went 8.0 @ 174mph in an untubbed single cam, no nitrous, c16 people still compared boostn with VLGOD.. As for anthony im sure he never built the car to compete with the Vl scene but to compete with the big boys like Ivan rx3 7.0 sadek 7.20 and the list goes on... As for george haramis its only a matter of time before he runs 7s Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
