Congratz on another great time! 9.4 on a completely stock motor is amazing. Keep pushing the limits!

Next week we plan to pulley down a size and see how long that will last. I have a nice video of the first pass I will have have Todd post up Monday.
That's so badass, it's kinda funny. Are you locking the converter late in the run? If not, maybe you should.

It only cost's my $5K a year for that billboard Lingenfelter has the other lane. I only run in the RPM lane because I think it's faster !!

Thanks for sharing. The car looks great.
You gave up a little 60' by your intial movement on the launch. Probably cost you cclose to a .10. Tighten it up Rodney!

I have to leave off idle and be soft on the throttle or it will spin. I realize I am leaving a little in the 60ft. I have been 1.361 on a nice warm day during a big event but 1.40's are what it typically does. I would love to see a 1.29

I run unleaded 100 octane, I get it at a local fuel supply outlet. I was watching the boost guage Saturday it was @12-14 psi.

Me too!
Make sure someone watches closely that your car isn't creeping at launch.
