first time at track with new realstreet setup

So I built this car over the course of a few weeks and finished it up thursday afternoon and threw it on dyno to get the tune staight and drove over to indy for the shoout right off the dyno, I have been fighting with little gremlins and first couple passes didnt stage car correctly so my best was 9.2@160mph 1.7x 60ft... finally made some adjustments and car did a major wheelie
Setup is
370 iron block
S476R
Etp 245 small bore ls7 heads
TH400 built by fti
12bolt

major wheelie is an understatement. nice shakedown runs though. once you get the bugs worked out it will be in the 8's no problem. Congrats on a quick build and a BA car

if you look closer it looks to be as if all the wheels are off the ground and the car is on the bumper
