I went to the dragstrip on the last test n tune of this year. I didn't do my best ever time but it was near. The boost level is 5 to 6psi LOWER then when I run simular times years ago with ported iron heads!
Here's a video of the car doing a 1.52, 6.69 at 104 in the 8th mile. This was at 25psi of boost. At the 2-3 shift the engine hit the rev limiter. You can also hear the engine bog after it recovered. :roll: I've got to rework my transmission governor so it will shift sooner because I think on this pass it would've been a 6.50's at 106. 30psi of boost may get me into the 9's in the quarter mile!
Oh yeah, my Dakota Digital gauges also records 0-60mph times. It said 2.5 seconds!

Before I put on the rear anti-roll bar...the car would twist very bad on launch. Below are some pictures of when it had the factory rear bar and after with the "real" bar! You can see in the video that the H&R PartsStuff rear bar totally eliminated the twist and planted the rear tires upon launch!
