    Went to the Out a Sight Drags last weekend. Car ran a best 10.39@133. Had some electronic issues that cut the weekend short, but I still had a blast. Wheels in the air on the launch, and ran straight. Now to patch it up and go back. Hoping to get in the 9’s with this thing. It should be close.

    You need more cam, custom blower cam, and step up the blower....is it under-driven now?? Sounds like it....

    It is a 380 inch 348, has a blower cam, 1 to 1 on the blower, and a tight converter. The motor was built as a pump gas street motor. It dynoed at 552 hp and 530 torque. I can only run 10.0@135 mph with the thing. Then it needs a chassis certification. That run was 10.39@133. A little more gear, and a loose converter would wake up the launch, but I am nearly at my limit. Not out to set the world on fire, just have a little fun.

    That's it, having fun, not making it a job.

    I could have more cam, more boost, more cubic inch, more everything..... But I would have less time,less money,and less fun.

    As far as I am concerned, you can add a radio if you want, its your car and its FUN. Nice job on the build.
