Best ET w/ this combo ** 9.44 @ 146mph on BFG Drag Radials **

I drove this combo on weekends to car shows and Street raced it a "Few" times. Ran it in heads up competition with BFG drag radials. Was #1 qualifier at the Street Nationals, 1999, Bradenton, Fl, till the driveshaft snapped in half going thru the traps, last Sunday morning testing before eliminations. Boy was I upset. Broke the transmission case too. Sent the back half of the shaft 80 ft in the air from what the driver in the other lane told me as he looked out his windshield and put his brakes. Not knowing where it was going to land. This combo was a good for 7600 rpm pulling thru the traps in high gear. Shifted at 7400 rpm. N.O.S. Big Shot system with #120 pills. I tried a Victor with a 1050 Dominator and saw very little difference on spray or motor thou. The Victor was slightly better, but..... thought that it should have picked up more. But when I went to a bigger motor the Victor and Dominator really showed up.
My 76 T/A is a Street / Race type car that I have tried different things (My Test car) and am always stepping it up.
