The 60ft wasnt all that great on that run. I did have a couple 1/8th mile blasts that were pretty good. 1.32 60fts and 5.6@124 on those runs
The 8.8 pass was on higher boost than i ever tried i think it got into some spots on the map that were a lil off cause it kinda surged/stumbled at halftrack then took off. Its getting harder and harder to make improvements in my ET, maybe the poor 5.3 has had enough??? Im pretty mean to this engine and it takes alot of rpm and boost to get it to 60 with a glide and a 3.50 gear with 30"tires
Justin i met ur buddies with the nova at the shootout. Sweet ride

It weighs in at 3250
I had one run that would of been great had i not forgot to reset the boost controller saftey cutoff. It went 5.691 but only 118mph cause the controller reverted back to wastegate pressure.

Yes on using the 2 step and PM me for details on the converter.
Ben(call911) you can use meth or nitrous or whatever but your formula has a huge area up front for an air to air. If it were my car i would use that and use good gas or e-85. I dont dont why you are so opposed to running anything other than pump gas, e85 is everywhere out were we live.
As everyone who has a high hp stock engine will tell you its all in the tune. And good gas will help it live longer. At least put some race gas in it when you turn it up. Thats my opinion

I had an intercooler on it for awhile and it hasnt made a difference in et. I took it back off and plan on goin to the track and see how it does.
