The final straw for Dale and the nine inch converter in the Gremlin was when he attended the Street Outlaws Live event at Tulsa in March. He thought he may be able to get away with it on the eighth mile, but ended up getting "Posterized" by Travis Cannon's Unicorn Nova in the first round. Go Pro video of the run showed that with the nitrous on, the engine was over 7K for the entire run. He called his friends at JW Performance for something that could handle the torque that was now available.
