Default Finally made it to the track and got my license.
Saturday at Top End Dragways I got to try out the new setup. Got my license runs in and new personal best. 498 cid w/PT8891, pretty conservative launch and tune on 8psi.

Congratulations!! Just stay healthy and keep renewing it on time and you'll never have to pass the test again.

How did you end up way up there? LOL
I ran up there a few years back and had a good time.
141 mph is hauling butt for only 8 PSI, be interesting to see what happens as you turn it up.
Mine is a pooch at 9 PSI compared to 21 PSI, glad you are up and running good!

Very nice,great job. Turbo love, gives me hope. I have a similar combo with a 461 c.i. I see no reason why you can not go 8's with 16 psi!
Keep us post on future passes.

Throw some bigger tube headers on it and pick up up to 2 tenths!
