Thanks everyone. I am stoked!

Mike Jacobs still has the nitrous record of 8.95

I am hoping to knock that one down soon possibly at the shootout.

Congrats Tony I know it's been a long time coming. Nothing like some last minute testing to light the fire under the good-ol boys from up north. Should be a great Outlaw class this year , everyone needs to be there to watch!!

I was more curious about the driving characteristics. Would it be a pleasant experience if you wanted to drive it to the mall? How much horsepower & torque is it pushing naturally aspirated? What's the fastest an LT1 Camaro has ever gone in the 1/4 mile?

I may have to come watch you guys run at Beech Bend. I'm going to be home that weekend. I certainly hope it cools off some down there.

It would be very pleasant for him. He would be grinning ear to ear. It would be very loud, and people in traffic would be rubber-necking wondering wtf is making all that noise. Most likely an officer or 2 would take notice but do nothing as long as he was just cruising. Not sure he'd want to leave it parked at the mall, although a thief would have a hard time with the reverse manual valve body and the manual steering.

Records will be broken. I'm sure the outlaw class is going to be crazy!

Congrats! It has been a long time coming. BTW, what gears are you running now? Did you make any NA passes? How do you like the new heads? I am sure you are pushing close to 8k rpms now. I can't wait to see some mid 8's!
