Nice run. Was that with the increased compression you were talking about? What gear are you running and where are you shifting?

Thanks man, we're still with the 8.4:1, 3.50 rear, right now we are shifting at 7500 and going through the traps @ 8150. We need to see if raising the shift point helps or not. My car makes the same power from 5k to 8k so I'm not sure it helps or not.

Memphis would be cool but if the track conditions are right to drop the hammer it wouldn't be worth it. Thx!

Shawn is a great guy but sometimes I think he drinks too much. We were talking today and he seems to think the car has a 7.2x @ 202-204mph in it with a specific set of conditions.

We'll find out next month. The motor will take everything we can throw at it. I do intend on running 45# or more of Co2 on the boost controller.

Well this being a mostly Fbody site and my favorite type of car being a Firebird, I will be cheering for the black Firebird to beat all Mustangs in Bradenton.

Sorry about that Phil
