In all fairness, that was the first time out with the turbo setup in the Camaro, and they didn't have a clean pass before the race... the hood flew off first time out, and was destroyed, then he ran out of C02 for the shifter (owner is paralyzed, and car has hand controls), so that first pass on the vid was with another driver and hand controls disabled, and you can hear him pedal it a couple times. With that said.. The little white notch moves, because the catfish trapped 161.5mph on that race vs it!

Notch is a stock bottom end/ stock head motor, with a cam, custom intake, A/W intercooler in firewall. That car impressed the hell out of me.. The dude helping him tune it had a 1100whp camaro that ran slightly slower than his car, and only because the notch is 2800 raceweight vs. like 3500 dry...

WOW! Thats impressive. I have seen some pretty crazy numbers come out of some "stock" LS motors.
