Heads, cam, speed density dry nitrous = 183mph in standing mile!

Just got back from the Texas Mile. I'm here to report that my heads/cam car was running with an LPE 427 F-body and an MTI 422 F-body on motor. I ran 170.365mph on motor in the standing mile. Then I ran my car with a .065" jet and dry nitrous with no MAF (speed density). Went an additional 13mph to break 183mph. Keep in mind, this is not my top speed, but what I could achieve in a 1 mile distance from a standing start. I am probably putting out around 615-625 rwhp on the bottle. Not bad for driving it to and from the track, huh?

Here's the video:

Is this the one on the reserved airport in texas that they open annually for a 1 mile dragstrip?

If so that is completely insane

No doubt Kurt. You were on your way to a 185+ mph run. Sorry your motor popped.

I'll help you when you're ready to pull out the old bullet and put in another!

I was on the spray in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear...probably from 80 mph up to 183 mph. Finish line rpm was 6828 in 5th. I was running street tires in the rear and they wouldn't hold the spray until 3rd gear.

Yes, my buddy Kurt captured it on video. We just need to download it and host it on my website.

A 1 mile drag strip! I've never heard of such a thing.
Sounds like a good excuse for a road trip to me!

Nothing great with 10 bolt and drag radials...
11.34 @ 131.33 mph (1.81 60' time

)
Need slicks and a stronger rear end.

No, my car passed tech with flying colors and was legal to run up to 190mph before needing to install additional safety items. It was soooo smooth and stable at that speed...almost surprising since I'm still at stock ride height. Gotta love those new Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval tires. They're new and performed extremely well. I like them better than any tire I've owned before.
