This thing is nuts, last year he was running 12.6 on slicks, this year its getting some more work done and he hopes to be in the 11's.
60ft 1.874
330ft 5.356
1/8 ET 8.163
1/8 MPH 87.03
1/4 ET 12.611
1/4 MPH 112.51
Here is some pics.

I would probably expect better times from it with that kind of a setup though.

the lkze 2.5 v6 dohc has been known to make 400hp eazily with a t4. i seen one at the corksports meeting last year and the turbo was located practaly under the motor with an external wastegate. the motor is extrememly light and has been the heart of many motor swaps. there are even some second gen escorts with the klze swap. they run mid 14's stock n/a. its a prety ballzy mid revving motor with massive potential.
klze <----vtec this!!
