Default Went 128 on TEA Stg 2 heads, 10.0 & 145mph @ 1000ft shutting down on spray

Well had a good day at the track, made a bunch of passes at the Famoso track rental today. And i had the fastest street car there, which was kinda neat.

1st Pass: Only motor pass i tried to make, left very easy off idle
(my best 60 ft today on motor was 1.53)
1.88 60 ft
10.9 1/4 ET
128 mph

2nd Pass: Sprayed top of 1st about 100 ft out and through 2nd gear and ran it out the last 1/8th on motor
1.53 60 ft
6.49 1/8th ET
111 1/8th MPH
10.0 1/4 ET
138 mph

3rd Pass: Went for a full spray pass to get kicked out, was hoping for a 9.50 but i let out of it at the 1000 ft mark when i ran out of gear at 145 mph and hit the limiter and coasted through off the gas
1.4 60 ft
6.18 1/8th ET <----- Calculates out to about a 9.50-.60
117.38 1/8th MPH <--- (Calculates to approx 149 mph in 1/4)
10.2 1/4 ET
115.87 mph (I was right at 145 mph when i tagged the rev limiter and shut it down and coasted through the traps)


So I couldnt be happier...the car screams and its getting great gas mileage and runs great on 91 octane so far...as ive been driving it around town alot and putting lots of mileage on it...

Ive still got another 100hp on another stage i havent sprayed...and with a rearend gear change, I hope to well nicely over 150mph on motor after a rearend gear change and work the car down over the next several trips out deep in the 9's toward the 8's

I'll have video up soon. We got some pictures of it yanking the tires pretty hard...I'll have to get them off the camera tonight/tomorrow.

I got your 10.03 and 10.29 on tape, those were great runs. Can't wait to see you hit the 9's and get into the Single Digit Club! Did you miss Paul's runs? He ran a 9.50@149 and then a 9.34@150.

How did you coast from 145 mph to 115 mph in only 320 feet? Did you hit the brakes at the 1000' mark?

Engine braking would probably do it especially from 7000rpm or whatever his limiter is set at.
