Shannen, 

   I was reading through a back issue of Corvette Fever, dated
June 1998, and happened upon an article about an 87 Corvette with
tons of mods that runs 10.72 @ 132 mph w/1.41 60' times.  The car
is a naturally-aspirated 421 cu in with .714 lift and supposedly
630 HP. 
   That's what the article is mostly about, but right in the
middle of the text is the following: "What started out as a peek
into fuel injection has morphed into a business of providing
consultation and custom programming to elite engine builders and
Corvette specialty shops all over the world.  [...]  If you
don't know Jim Formato and your PROM has a happy face maybe your
car knows him!"
   So, I did a metacrawler search on Formato, and discovered he
runs TPI Performance Consultants in Tampa, FL, and that he won
at least two of the Vette-vs-Viper shootouts with the above mentioned
car.

   Have fun,

   Marc
