I saw this story on a muscle car forum too. BS or not, I'm itching to know what he has under that hood. Especially if it's a camless valvetrain. Honestly though I couldn't imagine the camless valvetrain providing that large of an improvement in efficiency all by itself. Even doubling the efficiency would be amazing.

FWIW, his acceleration and top speed claims are perfectly reasonable for a 400 hp drag car with drag radial tires. Those numbers are about what I would expect. It probably runs the quarter mile in the low 12/high 11 second range. Nothing unusual there. That leaves the extraordinary mileage claim for the skeptics.
