8.72 and close to 145-150, too cool. That equates to around 500-550 hp at the wheels...nice. And from a <300 inch powerplant, amazing! Great work guys.

Really outstanding progress, if you look at the RT you will see that there is you reason for the loss. You guys should be very happy with that run, wheels up and all.

Jep, I did a quick autopsy again and cylinder #3 was full of water and a head gasket was done . 
And someone had changed engine oils to Bailey's irish Cream liquor  . 
Our fans at the garage were all little disappointed about our progress... 
Five runs during the weekend: 9.483 / 219.35 km/h, 9.571 / 217.80 km/h, 9.665 / 216.21 km/h, 9.268 / 238.65 km/h and then that 8.723 / 241.84 km/h. 0.757 to WR  .

We do have one set of copper gaskets, but we opted to test what Fel-Pros really can stand . Now we know. For the next season there will be proper O-rings and boost will be added up to 2.5 bar... Maybe?
