My drag radials could only hold 11psi. With slicks now I can more but havnt checked how much. 370 PT76gts TU1 cam and a BTE 3600-3800ish stall My powerglide and a 3.50 gear rear helps. If you have a lower first gear or lower gears in the rear it will be harder to hold and build boost.

I still haven't tracked it. Way too hot right now here in AZ.
Also, in the process of ordering a inline pump and 80lb injectors to turn up the boost .

3600, as mentioned above the glide and lack of gear helps with this

Gives me a little hope for my combo as I will not have a transbrake right off the bat.
