If you don't mind me asking how did you do that?

No problem.
( Pope - Nice car! The Fastlane dual intake is nice, we are thinking more along the lines of a complete remodeled unit similar to units out in other markets, example corvettes.)
First we installed a set of the Nitto drag radials (20") which really did nothing decipherable for traction. Customer was out in front of the street launched the car with the new twin disc spec clutch, and banged second and the rear yoke flange on the drive shaft (where the bolts are) sheered off and made a mess out of his fuel tank. (The first graph power wise)
Following this repair we took the car to the track, he was running high 10's I believe, and launched the car on his 4th pass, and made a clean sheer of the stock output shaft on the transmission. I am not certain if this is one of the early model tr-6060's with the heat treatment issues or not. RPM transmissions whom we work with very closely worked with us on a rebuild and upgrading the transmission as well.
Now we just need spring time to see what it car run going further.
I also neglected to mention the cars current fuel system is a stock pump with a Kenny Bell boost-a-pump. (Again it is maxed out over 700hp for certain, especially with the parasitic drag from a supercharger.)
