Again, congrats!!!

It's a custom Cartek grind cam , hydraulic roller , under 600 lift . I wish I was running twin 88's , if that was the case I'd be in the 7's

It's a single rear-mount 88 , with a front-mount air to air intercooler , stock independent rear .

hitting the limiter at the end of the track?

what are you spinning it to?

this is amazing...I'm looking to go 8.60-8.70's and was wondering if its doable with a 4 bolt block and consistent...no issues pushing water?

what head gaskets are you running?

head studs?

sorry for so many questions.

Thanks for the props everyone . I ran the car again last weekend for the last time this season , the track was not hooking so I had to come out easy with no more than 3lbs of boost . I was able to set a new personal best trap speed , best run of the day was a 9.04 at 158.59 . As always I drove it there and drove home , it was a good way to end the year . Looking forward to next year .
