My car's first day at the strip!

Well, it wasn't my first time out, I have been going up there and running my brothers car. I don't want to go any bigger on the juice, the engine has a lot of miles on it. As soon as I get my other engine built I will be bumping it up to 150, that's as high as my NOS kit will go. The 430 gear helps but it takes a lot of torque to turn those big tires and the intake doesn't produce any on the low end. The whole thing is sort of a throw together to get it running till I build my other engine.

------------------
88 LX Notch - 302(out of 86 crown Vic- converted to HO), stock cam, ported stock heads, 76mm C&L mass air, 70mm Mac tb and EGR, Victor 5.0 intake(yeah I know it's killing my low end torque

), Walbro 190lph intank fuel pump, 24lb injectors, Flow Tech long tube headers, offroad H-pipe, Flowmasters, Compucar NOS kit with 125 shot pill, Aod with Art Car shift kit, FMS 430 gears, 28x10.5 M/T Sportman Pro rears(soon to be on 9" Weld Draglites), Kumho fronts on 4" Weld Draglites.
