The car club I am in, www.motownmuscle.com went to St. Thomas Dragway in Canada for our season opener Saturday.

I made 4 motor passes, All 12.0's @ 111-112, then I sprayed it to an 11.15 @122.86 mph. My 60 ft was a nice 1.54, the 1/8th mile was 7.10 @ 99 mph, BUT NO STINKIN" 10!!!!!
I did not powershift the "glass T-5" considering I drove my car to the track, But I figured with my previous fuel system issue fixed I would have it in the bag. Nope.

And on my spray pass my PCV line blew out of the back of the intake, and also shot out the screen and the bushing. That has never happened before. I guess I may have a serious blow-by issue on my hands.

Any suggestions on what I could do to pick up maybe two mph?
I was tossing these Ideas around:

Switching to long tubes and an X-pipe
Swapping out the E-303 cam for ??????
Powershifting the T-5
MORE NAAWWWSSSS!!!!

I also tried swapping on a 70 mm throttle body in place of my 65. Absolutely no difference at all.

I placed 2nd in the quick 8, beat a 383 LT1 Camaro in the first round, then lost to a 10.90 383 Trans Am in round two.
