Beat a BPU Supra on the highway! Man my car should be faster with all the **** I did to it! I am about to get a 402 or LS7 427 when they come out. I did have fun but a 7.7 at 90 sucks and dynoing 363/385 sucks also. Just a little pissed cause I heard a ping sound when they dynoed the car. Sounds like a bent push rod or a F'd rocker. Probly caused from all the detonation when I was running lean. But here is the main attaction of the night:
Denton 1/8 track: There was a pretty white BPU Supra there so we raced 3 times. He never got within a sec of my time. I ran 7.7 at 90 while his best was 8.7 at 86. Well he was a little ticked and there was a dyno there so we bet 20 bucks on whos would dyno higher. Well I lost 20 bucks cause he dynoed 378 to my 363 but my torq was 385 to his 377. I guess torque wins races.
Highway: Well on the way home we decided who was faster 60-150. We had 1 good run were we started even. I got about a 1/2 car to 100 then he passed me and got a 1 1/2 car lead by 130 but at 130 I start reeling him in. By 150 my nose was in front if his and I let off and I was still pulling him in overdrive until I lifted.
Fun night...
A pullied and chipped Cobra was there running 8.0 at 90. I did not get to run him but he was pretty cool.
BTW: I found out why I only dynoed 363. I had a chipped and cracked #7 piston. Over 20% leakdown on it! Well, I am having a 4K LS6 motor installed with some real nice CNC heads with bigger valves and a 228/232 cam. Should get me back to 400rwhp unlocked and uncorrected. Low 11's here I come again! Best on old motor was a 11.62 at 117 when it dynoed 384 uncorrected!

I'm guessing you started off at the track and ended up on the highway.
Good kill?

Good kill. 
That must have been a stock or fu@#ed up Supra. I just looked at my old time slips from when I was BPU and I ran a 7.9@93mph on street tires.

1/8th - 7.42 - Banged the rev limiter 3 times from tranny slipping
mph - 94.08
I raced Fenskys BPU +++ Supra A4 and beat him from a dig and lost from a roll but he car was extremely fast for stock twins.
