Going under the knife...
So, I have a Wanna Go Fast event coming up next month. Typically, I only attend the 1/2 mi roll race events. My builder is picking up m y car this weekend to add a few this's and that's... should take 2-3 weeks. Its a 414 ci stroker all forged w supporting mods and a 250 shot.... Here are my current numbers.... I'll post mods, final numbers once complete. Currently making 530ish NA... Hoping for 580NA and 800 with the Nitrous..

I ran 160 @ the last 1/2 mi "roll race" event w the nitrous... But then again, that is only racing about 1600 or so ft.... this standing 1/2 mi from a dig is going to be awesome!!

Nice. Just basing it off the times we ran at the Ocala event(standing start). 540rwhp vette we brought was going 156's which was dead even with the Viper(gen 5) I brought (headers/mufflers and tune) and we were well into 5th gear. Proved for some REALLY fun racing. We're changing a thing or two on that vette and seeing if we can get closer to 160 in it, NA. 800hp half mile guys are going from 160s to higher 170s in the half(standing start) from what I have seen at the local event(s). Traction is obviously the limiting factor. Watching your vid is getting my pumped up for our January event! WOO!
