What did he run against a pro mod car? He didn't get the win.. 
He was running "Outlaw Pro-Mod". Lost on a holeshot.
Unlimited on Drag Week next year is going to be something.

ENGINEERING DESIGN is what gives a specific "identity" to parts. Not where it was cast, forged, machined, injection molded, ect.
I once had a 318 Chysler engine for parts that had an international harvester insignia cast into the bellhousing. It wasnt an International Harvester 318, even though they probably cast it for Chrysler.
But im also not saying the truck was a chevy design in any way shape or form however.

Proline power. GM never made a 5" bore center big block.
It's a heck on an accomplishment, but still has a big ole asterisk next to it because of the mount of stuff that has to be changed between the street version and the race version.

3's in the 1/8th! Congrats to Larry and Chad!  Yes it cost $$$, but $$$ alone can not buy the skill, talent, dedication and experience that it took to go 5's in a truley streetable car.

so, the kid that drives his car to the track , then changes tires , takes off exhaust, pulls seats, removes air cleaner, advances timing,,,all to run as fast as possible. then reverses it all to drive home. doesnt have a street car?

According to the Unlimited rules for drag week, yes he does.
Hats off to Larson for walking the walk after talking the talk.

I love Larson's Nova. The S10 I think is absolutely ridiculous. I understand he built it to prove a point, but I still don't care for the truck very much. It's a pro mod with an S10 shell loosely draped over the chassis.
That being said, he drove it a thousand miles on drag week and ran it at every track, and just laid down the first 5 second pass ever by a street legal vehicle. That demands respect, and they did an incredible job. You can't take anything away from the truck, it is a street car that ran in the 5's. Period.
