Went 10.70's three times with 1.8 60" @ 135 breaking the tires loose about 100ft out.
for anyone that doesnt know the combo

Stock 5.3 longblock with 862's
Arp rod bolts/ Ebay Studs
215/215 112* Camshaft
Th350 and PTC 3000 Converter
3.73's (switching to 3.23's)
T6 Kbracing truck hotside and S475/83 turbo
15 psi 10.2 AFR and 16* of timing

We will lean it out a bit and try again soon.
















This was the slowest pass. Brakes wouldnt hold.
