Nice light, and 60'. With the 1/8th mile E/T, it should have a low 9.80 in it, but mph doesn't show it. This is the 605 HEMI correct?

Nice. Your vert flashes about the same as mine, 5000, 5100. I would be very happy with a pass like that.

It's not supposed to flash that high with this engine......it's a blown alky convertor from ATI.... supposed to be 3600, but I am pretty happy with it. I will have to get stiffer side wall slicks for next year. It's crushing my current tires.

Nice!

I was wondering where the roll cage was, too.

Very nice! Are you going to stick with the hemi a while longer?

Agreed, we are a little light on the cage. I only have a roll bar in it and never really wanted to cut the car up more, but I like running 9's with it so it is time to step it up with a full cage and window net.

I was hoping the car would have run closer to its potential, but I ran out of bigger jets at #106 in all four corners and 6.20's made me happy for now. The timing I set by ear, and I will have to see where it ended up. I am hoping there is more potential left in this combo than just 9.90. I feel this combo should run 9.60 for a 605...unless the weight of my car is that far off. Haven't weighted it in years and this block is heavy.

I am curious though, is anyone running the Barton rockers? Would those be worth the $ and did they free up any HP?

The other issue seems the lack of traction. The car made more hp, but ever run I had a worse 60ft. Its crushing the rear tires even at 14psi,so it looks like I need to find a better solution there. I am not sure I can do anything else with the suspension....

I have the Barton rockers. Similar build with less cylinder head. I'm real close to getting mine back on the road/track.

At what rpm are you shifting? Didn't look like it was going much past 6000.

What was the DA?
Like quickd100 said, it doesn't sound like you're spinning it real hard, but the video may be deceiving.
Have you tried leaving off a fast idle? You are footbraking right?
Just looked through my logbooks, and my closest comparable timeslip running mid 6.20s are all at 109-110+ mph.
You're still on a big bias ply tire though right? That might be why.

Since he is running IHRA, he doesn't need a cage until 9.00 or faster. Does need a IHRA license though to go under 6.40, or 10.00.
