He ran 9.86 at 136 mph on that pass. He made a few passes when I was there and the best was 9.82 @ 137. I don't know what the car weighs but I think it is fairly heavy since it has a full interior and I think it is all steel with a glass hood. Driver is more than 200 so total weight on the line might be 3500? That is just a guess. Engine is probably making around 650 hp at the moment. GM says it makes 430 hp on the spec sheet.


Yeah he’s north of 730 easy. The carb’d crate 572 makes around 730, so EFI and tuning capability definitely trumps that. I have a friend with a 427 COPO and he’s 185#’s with car a little over 3400#’s in the beams and it moves out!
