Did they do anything special to make the block hold together?
I remember hearing about people having issues keeping the cylinders from shifting at less power then you must be making.

The block is filled and we try not to detonate it all. Tyree tunes it very conservatively. We take baby steps and we log lots of data with the race pack. We have a lot of sensors and he reads everything. He also uses the big Stuff to analyze data and he controls with it along with the MSD 7531. I know he has a special way he preps the block, along with the pistons, coatings, rings etc.

I would kill for some RR AFRs. Sherman was making retarded power with them on ~400ci motors...well over 700hp NA...

Maybe, but I would expect it to pick up 40 plus MPH in the back half. It ran 1.19 60 ft and then 3.12 to the 330. I would bet it would go a 7.40ish or better. It's hard to tell because it's geared for 1/8th. I had a 1.16 60 ft yesterday also.
