Right now I have no idea until I get my 28" tall tires on so I don't hit the limiter going through the traps. I run a th350 and have 4:10 gears and will hit limiter before hitting the traps. I have an accel dfi computer and harness to get on the car as well so I can hit over the 7k rpm. I need that on so i can spray it with a 250 shot. Car isnt ideal right now in its current set up to get a good dyno or track run. The car should have low 9's , maybe....maybe high 8's if I can get it to 60' good off the trans brake and shot out of the hole.
Engine wise, its a 12.5:1 with custom CP pistons, highly worked over heads and big hyd roller cam.
Trans is a rossler th350 rmvb with a fti converter @4200 on the brake.
Currently i know that I bury the speedo at 7k rpm and it comes really quick. The video the guy posted had my speedo pegged past 150 and it stuck.

Gears will stay as is, 4.10 but will have a 28" tire on the rear. Spray the car once the accel dfi is in and running so I can spin the rpm I need. Right now the nitrous is off the car until I plumb everything the way i want it.
The exhaust is just a loudmouth with a sweet thunder. It is loud as hell in the car and driving around at 3k rpm at 55 mph is annoying as hell. The video doesn't really give a good sound clip for just how loud it really is.
The build is really nothing exotic or crazy. The only thing really custom was the pistons that started as one offs, but now can be purchased through Clayton. This set up even uses stock heads just heavily worked and a stock intake worked over by me. Other than the th350 the car rolling around is very Streetable and no surge or issues at low speed, low rpm. The converter in the car from FTI is honestly the best converter I have ever had in any car I have ever owned. I believe that is the key to the drivability around town. But if you put your foot in it, all hell breaks loose. It hits hard off the trans brake.
Once I get it to the track again and get the time and mph, I will see where I am at with the car and see what improvements need to be done to get me where I want to be. Last weekend i dialed in the suspension a little better for na. Once I get it all dialed in and make a full pass it will be a one and done. Still don't meet nhra requirements, but should be ready next season. Depends on if the wife let's me dump more into the car. She keeps asking when I am going to finish working on hers to get it where she wants it.

Should see about 7600-7800 rpm. Once I get the other computer system in and finish the nitrous I can get the car on the dyno and find out a little more on how far we can push the set up. Right now it is kind of on the back burner right now with working during the day and helping run a bodyshop after work. I have the car with a safe tune in it, but letting Corey Clayton dial in the dfi once installed. He has more knowledge of that software and nitrous than i do.

And I know exactly what you mean about finding time to work on your car, we have way too many projects around here

Thanks. Nothing really new. Gave the car a real good buff and detail. Been too busy with work and now part owner of a custom car and bodyshop. Spend a lot of time up at the shop building some nice cars when I'm not at my day job.
