oh, lol. yeah the track wasnt holding it and i was only leaving at 2-3 psi and 3kish, and it was still spinning bout 100 feet out. slicks 28x11.50, only ran on spring presure didnt get to using the controller yet. like i said i took the car out 2 times, and only ran 2-3 times each time out. so i was still workin bugs out and setting up the suspension. no doubt in my mind it would have went 5.80-.90 like it sat.

One of my customers ran 10.8 @ 128mph @ 11.5psi with the following:

355ci (forged rods/pistons only)
Completely stock top end (except valve springs)
Log Manifold T76 setup
TH400 and 3.42's

He was probably only making ~475-500rwhp. it doesn't take much power... just good suspension and tranny.
