You should consider deleting this post until version V is on the strip!
This is no transbrake and trans shifting at 4k rpm. Im not worried about the improvement once it comes off the trans brake with the new converter and trans tune with the new setup. Only thing Im worried about is whether or not to install wheelie bars

If you are talking about actually tracking this phantom car of yours than we must be in fantasy land. If that is indeed the case I'll line up against you on my Unicorn! How many lengths do you need?

I am getting ready to put the myth to rest as it is getting VERY close to fire it up and head to the track for some testing. It will DEFINITELY be at c5fest 100% and spanking you up one side and down the other. Its gonna be a long ride home with your tail tucked between your legs.

That 9.00 run was on the foot brake, we were racing in the NMCA EFI class and it was foot brake only. I think the best 60' we had with the QTP's was a 1.44. You should give the drag radials a shot.

I am not sure but at the time I had about 650rwhp(FI), stock stall and it was a matter of leaving the line soft enough not to blow the tires out but stomping it after getting going. They would not take hitting the throttle hard from the start. That run also had a 7.0 1/8 mile time.
