The first pic shows how my brother's Gremlin left the line on every pass last year during Hot Rod Drag Week. 9.30's mostly, until the shootout, when he added a second plate system, and dropped to 9.0's. He eventually melted some pistons on an 8.95.

This year, new pistons lowered the compression, swapped the SRs for a set of -1s and backed the cam up four degrees. The 440 responded with a 9.08 on one system, but he was concerned about a 100 foot wheelie on that run.

The second pic was his first run trying to add the second plate.
He let off the nitrous early, and tried to drive through it, but when the rear tires left the pavement, and the engine hit the rev limiter, he lifted briefly. Gasoline hit the windshield, when he stabbed it again as the car started down, the engine simply bogged and was unresponsive. It's going to need a new rack, and the front rails straightened...but, he has the hero shot to show everyone!!

Caution, Streetwize, is the better part of Valor!!
