7.85 @ 86 mph. You don't need a higher stall, just add more power.

OK guys, I'm back at a computer...Thanks for all the lofty guesses...but no PB for me
Poor track prep and some tuning issues only yielded a 8.11 @86.4 w/1.88 60'.
Still had some spinning and bounced the limiter on the 1-2 shift.
The track was really cold and I should have leaked the tires lower.
