I've been away from the board a while. Work has kept me busy. I always see threads about what it takes to get into the 10's. I know what I did to get there was not the safest way but it works and I have had no breakage (except several transmissions) in the engine department. My combo will run in the 9's in Bowling Green this year under 35psi of boost. Please understand again I'm not leading anyone to build thier engine like I did. Just a thread to help guys see a combo that worked and to hear from our other knowledgable members.

Guys thats it unless I left out a few little things here or there. Simple setup. Dan (Grumpy) has gone faster with less than this. There's no secret here. It runs 10's at 23psi of boost and will run 9's at 30+. I have had this combo for many years and I have tuned it slowly. If I could guess on a part that has made it live it would be the tune. It's never seen knock. Ever. This is on 100% pump gas and alcohol with FAST keeping everything in check.
Do I recommend this setup? It works but there are weak links. That's a choice I made way back. Do I wish there was a forged rotating assemble? Sure. Who wouldn't. Thank you guys for your time. Hope this thread was informative.
