Gwizz,
Yes it is Ernest. I haven't seen him since this summer, but he said he weighed 195. Danny has told me time & time again Ernest's Busa weighs 465. If you know Ernest, you know he runs 8.60s and 8.70s like most people run their fingers thru their hair.
Point is ...... not hard to go 8s with a 1397, need a little weight loss from bike, need a little wb, if you pull 1.43s on stock wb more power to you, I guess.
To the original guy asking about quickest "Busa-framed" Busa's ...... yes the Carolinas are the nesting ground. I saw Shawn Gann run 7.64 @ 174 2 years ago on a 75" Busa, big block, slider, lectrons ...... it was ugly, but they are out there.
Mike Brown's "General" was supposedly 1771cc .........
