very clean underhood, i was expecting to see more stuff to support power levels like that. Must have some major $$$ in it.

Usually when people do that, they mount have a water-air IC inside the car, either riding shotgun or behind the dash and that routes straight into the intake. I haven't seen the car in a while so I don't know the specifics of his setup now. It's not terribly uncommon with race-only cars (although Ryan is just dumb enough to drive it on the street).

As for the power levels...huge exhaust, HUGE cam, huge blower, stroker motor, huge heads, huge intake, DFI kit...not hard to make that much power if you don't drive the thing on the streets. And yeah...it's got some real $$$ in it. He worked as head painter at a body shop for a long time (making something like $35K-$40K a year I think) while he was living at home so he saved a ton of money. He's also got a Procharger D-1 blown Cobra (a '96 or '97 I think) unless he sold it.
