Thats the only way to effectively cool the charge coming out of the turbos.

That looks like an 1/8 mile track. No real drag radial could even get close to that time in the quarter mile. Think about it, Funny cars run about that time in the quarter mile.

I missed that part (didn't watch the video). Definitely 1/8th mile. There's no nitromethane so it can't run in the 4's. You can also tell its 1/8th mile because the mustang shifted right before the finish line.
Actually the car that ran 4.29 isn't the mustang. The mustang ran a 4.70 on the third pass. 4.70 in the eighth is roughly 7.50, and a 4.29 is roughly a 6.88.
Also, I don't think its on drag radials. Look at the third pic and the last pic. The third pic is a burnout picture and the last pic is just after the burnout was completed. It appears to me that the tires grew, radials don't do that or atleast not that much.

plus the mph is 140"s you need to be up around 2x that to run the in a quater...

I think its closer to 345mph to run 4.2x's in the quarter
Also, the quickest a full bodied car (aka resembles a street car, and still has doors, and the driver sits to the left of the driveshaft) is 5.90ish.

Impressive but Id rather be on real slicks than on the brink of death with radials.

Fixed OP. I was thinking it was too short but damn did it hall ass. And a reg Fram filter, WTF

The benefit of a Fram is that the flow is high because the restriction in the filter is low.

If that was my car, I wouldn't trust a Fram Filter to catch metal fragments. I would be using an in-line oil filter like this:

I have worked on multiple high powered race cars, and none of them still used a conventional filter.

under carrage pics make it look like drag radials...
with like 2 lines down the tire... IE: pretty much a slick but 2 grooves to be classified as radials..lol

The grooves don't make it a radial, that just give it a "tread pattern." The construction of the tire make it a radial or bias ply tire.
