Dude those pressures are terrible. I'm pretty close to sea level and our tracks still get smacked around by relatively high DA, so these kind of numbers happen here too. So that's it then, nobody is safe. I'm starting to second that supercharger idea.
 I'd do it to the L6 despite running hypers. Not sure what I'll do with the V8 Jav but in the back of my mind I get this nagging nightmarish dread that no matter what I do to this, my inline stroker T-5 swapped Eagle outperforms everything I build from here on out.11.3X-11.4 sounds about right for a lightweight car but poor for a 401/727 combo. 4v intake, right? I would be hunting for high 10s. What is your rear? |

Congrats Jim! That is awesome. Glad you got the Gremlin all put back together in top notch condition.
