Re: Educated guess on 1/8th mile time!!!
Lots of guys launch at high revs like that. USMC is not out of the ordinary there.

Re: Educated guess on 1/8th mile time!!!
Negative, I do not have the money to throw away a motor. I invested in everything forged and top of the line internals so that my little stock block 331 will last as long as I can get it to. Besides what is the fun of racing if your not using the powerband? Want us to shift at 3000 to save the rods? I wouldn't need slicks anymore either, or axles for that matter, matter of fact, I could put everything back to stock and have my engine last foever! WOOHOO!

Re: Educated guess on 1/8th mile time!!!
I shift my 302 at 6k, though I dont launch real high. (normally around 2-2500 when im street racing) I really didnt invest like those other guys to make sure my motor stays together that high, Im just to dumb to care. Plus if it does blow up, its a good excuse to build another motor!!! Though I am too poor to go through that again for awhile...

Re: Educated guess on 1/8th mile time!!!
That's actually pretty good IMO. I've got about 100 passes and I'm about to refreshen and put on an S-trim with cog setup and 20lbs of boost. Gonna push the block as far as I can. Then start saving for a real block.
