Why is you mph higher in the 1/8th then in the 1/4? Nice 10 sec pass though

Derek's right Scott, I had no idea you were limiting that thing to 6200. I promise you'll do less damage spinning it a little higher than you will running 400 feet on the rev limiter Seriously, it will be fine, I've seen stock bottom ends spun to 7k and a little beyond on nitrous with no issues. What are you shifting it at?

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.

you should just turn the bost up to about 20lbs. and put in some 112 octane then bump your rev limiter to about 7,500rpm's and let that sucker ride one final trip down the strip. of course someone should be standing by just in case something interesting "happened". may not be a pretty sight but it sure would be funny as hell to watch those 13 yr old parts shoot across the pavement like a freggin bullet.
