THESE GUYS were at my local track in SLC, UT. The article says 130 PSI, but when I was there with them, I asked if they had done anything like porting the heads etc. to improve flow. The guy working on the car said, "At 140 PSI, when the intake valve opens, pretty much, air goes in.". Lol.

The plumbing is a thing of beauty.
