Got to a test and tune today after a few changes. First pass was tuning, second pass was 9.35 at 148.9mph at 30-31psi.

Third pass was at ~35psi:
1.4229
3.8512
5.823 at 124.98mph
8.9928 at 153.18mph

I turned it up to ~41psi for the next pass, but didn't realize I still had fuel cut set at ~42psi. It didn't bump that until 3rd gear, but it was pretty much the end of the pass when it happened. I coasted from the 1/8th to a 9.3 at 130mph and the track was closed when I got back to the pits.

There is a slim chance I'll make it out one more time this season and turn the wick up a little more before the off-season upgrades commence.

Congrats on your recent journey into the 8s! You have certainly jumped even more excusive ring of DSM'rs.
 
I might have a video available within the next few days. There was a camera there, I just need to get with Dean and figure out how to snag the video off it.

Congrats Kevin, I remember seeing the car for the first time back in the spring of 2000 for the first time. Good to see you're still with it and doing well.
 
Damn, is that with the 700hp or more?

Last time at the dyno the car made 650whp with a slightly weaker combo than what was run at the track. Remember, this is also through an auto trans which loses about 15-18% more than the 5-spd. If it were a 5-spd, this would be in the 765-790whp range. For the 8.99 pass, it was probably just a slight bit less power than this.
