"Combo; stock block and crank. polished the beam and bushed the rods. TFS pistons and stage 2 cam. Victor jr, 650Dp holley and 1 3/4 LT headers. 150 shot of nitrous. This combo was also balanced and no girdle was used.

The car had been running mid elevens last couple of years. This year, I upped it to the 150 from 125 and switched from 1 5/8 to the 1 3/4 LT headers. The dist was locked out and a freind helped with some tuning issues. These changes dropped it to 11.0s -11 teens in True Street trim.
Biggest problem has been trying to hook up with the drag radials, mostly 1.8-1.9 60' with mid 120 mph on the time slips. I knew once it cut a good 60 foot, it'd make a 10 sec pass. A couple of weeks ago, at a track rental it went 10s.
A 10.68 at 129 mph with a 1.63 60' followed by a 1.9 60' and 11.19 at 129 mph. The next pass, about 1000 ft out, BANG. I slowed it down and got off the side of the track, trying not to oil the track down too bad...still went 11.95@79 mph."
