8* timing, blower belt broke at 330', let out at 1000', transmission slipping, street tune, 86 octane, no meth, coupler blew off, spark plug wire fell off, 4200#s, street tire, no track prep, brakes were dragging, 47mph headwind gusting to 123mph, 52% tps and he forgot to take a dump before the run.

So, I have a question here.....the hell with the claimed 1/4 time or the far reaching license plate. I've followed some of the post and what not and know that (Paul?) isn't the most popular guy on here these days, and frankly I could give a rats ****.
BUT...
Has anyone actually seen its run the 1.28 60ft? I mean....that's a SERIOUS 60 time, let alone for a stock suspension vette.
Also, how the f' is that thing allowed on the track without a cage? Where the F' do you people run, and do you all have a death wish or just most?

After Paul had some "technical difficulties" making it down the track, I jumped in the car and cut the 1.28, so yes it happened. With a different driver the car could go 8's IMHO, but jumping the gun with a license plate is kind of big no-no.
But as Mike said, who cares?

-transmission never shifted under WOT so could not do much with that
-my driving was excellent felt comfortable in the car and not going into REP
-
stuck in the rev limiter in first gear is not fun
-But I did manage to jus make an easy part throttle pass to 147 to feel the killer power..105 to 147 is crazy top end speed just driving normal
-working on fixing it so it shifts and back again next Friday
-nothing is broke car is still perfect engine tune was spot on and was a great day
---I had fun and thanks to empire muscle cars for the invite

im a bad driver when my car dont idle and goes into REP
i was getting compiments all day at the track and was asked to race a c7z so hell with u and your dum coments
I will run 8s just need some tweaking..i did 105 1/8..147 1/4 being easy do the math
btw the blower setup with the cog and all has been great..your engineer/machinist did his job for sure
