whoa whoa whoa... factory short block? (Except pistons) so you're still on the stock crank, rods, and sleeves? Dang, I didn't think the factory sleeves could handle that much cylinder pressure. You’ve got to be making about 850whp? Absolutely incredible run!! And the launch....@#$%. you sir are a driver.

Does it help you to know I was "reading" a Hustler when I read the text about your run. Kinda like being in a magazine right?

Im trying to figure out what Im more impressed with......the driving, the 60', the trap, or the ET. Im calling it a tie. You win sir.

I wonder if there was a tear in Fartpipes eye as he handed over the "Corvette wonderboy" crown?

Any dyno figures to share? Must be some pretty good numbers. What do you think it does without nitrous?

Nice run! I remember years ago I made a very strong pass at Muncie as well with a setup that's long past. Great track, minus the bugs on the windshield getting there!
