I know when I had the Hemi in the Barracuda the headers were right against the block even with a tube chassis. We ended up having some of that flame proof sheet added to the sides. The header wrap stuff, only in sheet form. That seemed to solve the melting of the blanket issue for me. I know it is not easy to get a blanket on a stock type front end car.
My junk is still not working like I want it to. I blew oil all over from the puke tank on the last time out. Been having a ton of little issues, nothing big just trying to get the chassis happy with the new motor. Last Saturday I clicked it off a hair early somewhere after the 1000' mark and went 8.40. Still not happy with the 60'performance, might go back to the original converter I was using as these fancy new ones dont seem to work to well for me. I know there is more there just need to find it. These one pass days are getting old.

I know the feeling. I'll be limited to an 8.50, so I'll leave the nitrous converter in, and the high rear gear, and just kill it on the line. My car is 3440 pounds with me in it, and it just never 60's in line with the 1/4 times. I may put a shorter tire on it and see what happens, but I'm sure no matter what tech will draw the line at 8.50. I agree about the picture though, that'll be a nice'n!
The majority of tracks up here wouldn't blink an eye if your car went sub 8.50.  look forward to seeing it.

Congrats on the article. The car is incredible, I can't wait to see it in person. How can it have 16.0:1, a tiny cam and only have 190psi cranking pressure? Cylinder volume?(huge)Cam timing?
As far as sub 8.50 tech goes, it depends on where you are and what event it is. I know at Mission they would catch up to you pretty quick. Some tracks in Washington can be pretty lax.

The cam is retarded a degree (like the owner) and is just over .900 lift on a 117 with 288 @.05 and 306 @.05, so it's not all that small. Advancing it to 4-5 early would pile some pressure in it, and for sure make more power, but I don't think pump E85 would like it too much. It could/should be on a 118 and be 1.1 lift at the same duration, 5 up and on race fuel, or meth.
