That is the Enriquez/Adams AA/GD. Those guys didn't use the turbos for long. They killed everyone with their blown combo and although the Hemi made more power with the turbos, they couldn't get it right and went back to a blown combo. I recently wrote a story that will appear in Hot Rod about "10 Turbos Cars Before Turbos Were Cool" and this was one of them.That which you manifest is before you.

That had to be a hit and miss on Gas with Mech injection and a turbo.2007 SBN/A Drag Week Winner & First only SBN/A Car in the 9's Till 2012

The problem was consistency and getting the engine to run right on every pass. MFI systems base their fuel quantity on engine RPM and throttle position, but the turbo engine requires huge differences in fuel quantity even at the same throttle and RPM positions, because the air density and pressure can be totally different for any given throttle/RPM combo.
If they'd have had a better Manifold Pressure referenced regulator at the time to help them meet the engine's fuel demands more accurately - they'd have kept running it.www.realtuners.com - catch the RealTuners Radio Podcast on Youtube, Facebook, iTunes, and anywhere else podcasts are distributed!
