What carbs, and how many?
Powa?
Tork?

Has he tried running it on wider tires at the strip? Those look pretty thin for handling bigblock torque.

f6 when you ask for torque or tork, the proper way to do it as evidenced by JC is to ask how many torques does it have.

What work was done on the engine johnny and was it an LS5 or LS6 or something else to start with?

Some 4bbl holley with a wicked secondary(the sound is insane). Never dyno'd it, but I'd say around 400. It's only been driven on the street. The track would probably break the car. The X-frame chevys have a two piece driveshaft with a bearing in the center of the x. If you drop the clutch hard, it'll break. So you need to be rolling to hammer on it, but when you do, hold on. The skinny tires spin a bit if you accidentally get on it when starting, if they were bigger better tires, snap.
It sounds very similar to this car, except for some cheap mufflers, YouTube - Hot Rod V8 Great Sound

I believe it's a truck block w/ hi perf pass stock heads on it. Cam, intake, carb, exhaust.

Edit: Found another pic.
