Copied this from another forum......

Manny Cruz's tube chassis sentra

Has made over a dozen passes, six passes being in the 7 second range and six passes in the eight second range. The best so far (that I know of) is 7.57 @ 179, car weighs 2450lbs.

945hp - 1117 ft lbs of torque

All this is done on the following setup:
============================
stock block
stock connecting rods
stock pistons
stock head gasket
stock cylinder head
stock cams
stock cam gears
stock timing belt
stock crank
stock intake manifold(slightly modified)
upgrades:
suprs(2jz) coils
motec ecu
dry sump oil pump
ATI Balancer
81mm turbo
-10 fuel rail
liberty 5 speed tranny
liquid intercooler

Most of this info is from Victor Brouschet, member RB30DETT on supraforums
---------------------------------------------------

BTW, The motor is a Nissan 2.6L RB26DETT motor (aka Skyline motor)... Pretty darn impressive if you ask me!

I know he crashed the cougar at least 3 times to where it was big $$$ to fix the damage, not sure if he sold it or? At least with the sentra it doesn't seem so costly to maintain it as a race car.

From what I understand, the couger is totaled, and he's borrowing this car from somebody to finish out the season. That's a damn impresive "loner car" though.

Manny (DeJesus) Cruz was at E-Town last weekend with both race cars. I'm pretty certain the Jag-powered cougar is ok. Both cars are neat pieces.
