Sorry about the upside down timeslip. (I was late for a wedding rehearsal)
It was better air, (allthough not the greatest).
First run I made it spun so bad I didn't even finish the pass.
Second run it pulled 10.2 @144.67 on a 1.656 60ft. (spun hard)
I lowered the 2 step, but in the meantime they put down some vht.
Third run, it bogged really bad, and for some reason I felt like powershifting, and it ran 10.3 @148.53 on a 1.85 60ft.
I'm still can't believe that powershifting picked the car up 4mph on back to back passes.
So, I upped the 2-step (back to 4,400), the car still slightly bogged but still ran the 9.8 @149.2 on a 1.58 60ft.
Right past the traps the car backfired and died (no spark). From what I could tell, the opti was making a clicking noise before the last run, so I think that's what broke. (the opti was a few years old anyway, I'll replace it on monday).
Since I was running late for that wedding rehearsal, Steve Shoemaker was so kind as to pull his car off the trailer (I drove mine there), trailer my car to the shop (where him and Chris unloaded it and put it in the shop), and let me drive his car home.
You guys saved my *** and I owe you big time. Thanks again.
All passes were made with 24psi boost (as recorded on FAST datalog), 3,740lbs, 110 octane Citgo fuel, the high MPH passes were powershifted. Cylinder heads are Airflow Research, 195's, ported to 215cc intake runner.
John, thanks for taking/posting the video for me.
The car still has A/C, and a tiny 218/218 cam. I am happy now.

conrgats! 
that is crazee mph! obviously better times are in your future! can i ask what you spin it to through the traps? or what gear are you running. if it is a 4.11 gear, my guess is 7200- 7300 rpm, if it is a taller gear then..i dunno

With 26 11.5 15's, and 3.31 gears it goes through the traps at 6,400.
(It makes peak HP at 5,900 with this cam)

now that must equal some awesome mileage on the highway! if you figured it out you could probably do some serious salt flat runs i don't know jack about turbos, nor will i pretend to, is that a small cam for a purpose built turbo motor? my unedumacated guess is that it is especially since it peaks fairly early.cool! obviously you have the combination of tire size, gear ratio and cam pretty much where you need it at this point, once you make the appropriate change i am sure the et will reflect it!
oh and one more thing....the 2 fastest T56 cars are lt1's! how about that! (at least for the moment) ahh what the hell i live for the moment
like your location says......
