Default Finally got it....

Decided to drive up to the track today for the last day of the season. Drove 90+ miles each way and all runs were on straight pump gas 93. This was on 14 psi.

First pass:
1.54 60' - left on only 3psi
5.89@125.46
9.02@156.88

Second pass:
1.37 60'
5.72@124.68
8.85@156.32

Raceweight was ~3450lbs
I got booted after this pass, think i could have gotten the 60' down a little more, but didnt have a chance. The new mt 275's are working awesome.

Big Thanks to:
Slowhawk Performance for a great tune
Markow Racears

The setup is a 383 ls1, 317's, custom cam, vic.jr., truck manifolds turbo kit with s400-hp88

That was amazing driving it there and back home it was basically the fastest car at the track!!! Those tires really hooked better than the other ET's it seemed. That looked like a scary run having the wheel turned left the whole run

Here's the 9.0 I'm pissed i didnt get the 8

Kudos to you for a nice setup man! not too much different from mine from the sounds of it and drove 2+ hours to the track myself only to run out of gear and clip a 9.16 @ 141. Thankfully i run at an "outlaw" track because all i had was a 6pt, fire jacket and a helmet on while running a factory seat belt yet lol. i will be working on all the safety aspects though for my own good, as much as i hate the thought of having a full cage in a street car that sees minimal track time. A harness and a chute will be added by spring at the very least but the chute is at least cool looking lol

Anyway, again...Congrats on your 8 sec pass!!!

Congrats Curt! Too bad someone didn't get the track announcer after your run. He sounded like he couldn't believe his eyes....."And the near lane runs.......8.85@156????????"
