Yeah I was waaaaayyyy off. It was in fact a 370 at 10.4:1.

Oh and btw, this weekend at the track the truck went 14.3 @ 103mph. Good starting point!

The best 60 foot time was 2.27. It was the first run of the day as well and I left at about 1500rpm's. All the other runs of the day got progressively slower.
