I run a solid roller 489 BB, it dynoed at 640HP, 620trq. with a too small 750 carb. I now run a 850 Mighty Demon and have a NOS Cheater system. In ran a 11.72@115 with a 1.72 60' at the last street drags on motor spinning a bit at the start. My coil over springs were a bit too light and I was bottoming out when I launched causing it to bounce. It was hard to get a good run in the other night after the rain it was hot and muggy, I was running 12.01 and not impressed. On the 11.44 I ran a 100shot in second and drive, it was the first time the motor saw nitrous so I ran it rich and backed out some extra timing so I was not expecting that large of a gain. Well low and behold it hooked good and ran a little quicker than planned.

I'm pretty sure on a regular race day I would be around the 11.5's to 11.6's on motor. So I'm thinking 10's on a 150 shot should be a reasonable expectation. I too would like to keep the stock appearance, but a roll bar is a must. The truck will all-ways be street legal, but I don't drive it that much and racing gives ME more enjoyment than cruising, so not that worried about the 2 bars going out the back window.
