New best!
I finally got my new motor combo to the track and despite a big glich ran 8.60 at 156 mph.
My new motor-
549 with 572-13 heads, 15/1 compression, dynoed 982 hp.
car weighs 2905 with driver.
Torqueflite, 6200 stall, 4.56 gears, 10.5x33 hoosier slicks.
My biggest problem was i didn't realize i had a delay of 2 seconds in my cc1 command center that held up the 1-2 shift for .4 seconds, the motor was on the rev limiter for .4 seconds at 8,000 rpm not pulling, yet still went 128.8 mph in the 1/8th despite laying over for that .4 second time frame about 100 feet out. So eventually i expect it to run 8.4x at 158 mph now that i found that issue. I did have problems with oil priming after sitting, and found some not so healthy looking bearings so the motor is coming out for repair for next season.
