1.829 dead hooking.

The converter flashed higher than I've ever seen it flash before too, even with the blower.

1/8 was 7.97 @ 88.31

Default 408 got broke in

After about 500 miles on the motor I got it to the track.

This was on a PIG rich tune. The narrowband o2's read about 960-980 the whole run!

torque will push a converter higher then normal. same reason why the TB converter works so well behind our trucks

.960-.980 is WAY RICH(usually), I'm surprised it actually didn't cut out. Might want to lean that out some quickly.

Regardless, still some great times for a first run and with the stock heads/intake.

I'm thinking it will get a lot better once the fuel gets right.

11's aren't far off at all.

Keep in mind this is with an 80e and street weight, nothing but changing the tires at the track.

I didn't open the cutouts either.

Very sweet! Nothing like big displacement to get you there. 11's are soon to be yours.
