Featured Car - Jay Villalon's 1986 Grand National
Jay's car has a little "extra" squeeze ..
The heart of the beast ...
Jay didn't feel that his nice solid build up was quite exciting enough, so he added a 150 shot of "giggle juice" to help motivate it! He uses it out of the hole to get a good launch and then it shuts off at 12 psi of boost. The latest run of 10.80 was made with a constant 75 HP shot that supplemented the 25 psi of boost...
