damn! that is crazy fast for a car that's been in the US for what, 5 months?!?!
Couple of questions for you Al:
What are you thinking for a turbo upgrade?
and how hard are you taxing your injectors with the setup you have now?
and do you plan on moving to a stand-alone or piggyback system (like the AMS, Apexi PFS, XEDE) when they become more readily available?

Al, I had a friend there at the track, congrats on the time....but he did mention that you didnt have any interior and you were running race gas (C16) ...is that true? if thats the case, I think thats important to mention that!

Of course he is running race gas. Al is building a race car he drives to the race track and race gas is the correct choice. High 11's on pump gas would be stupid with a stock turbo.
And he removed the seats? Do you ever go to the track? When the cars are in the staging area, the pit area looks like a garage sale for seats and tools and tires!

After observing Al's short EVO racing career, I have concluded that he is nuts! 
He has a need for speed and will do what ever it takes. The first EVO to break 11 without NOS has yet to be seen, but I would put money on Al again at the DSM shootout in July! Speedlimit...

Good stuff! Congrats!
So at this level of modification, how is the car as a normal driver? Is it getting difficult to deal with on normal roads?
