What is on the video;
1) some footage of the engine running
2) exhaust and loping sound at idle
3) daytime run with view from front of car that shows drivers wheel is 1 1/2 foot off ground and passenger wheel is just up. Normal start.
4) night time burnout and then Wheel stand, it is from a different view point, part of the wheels are hidden by the barrier, the passenger wheel is up about 2 1/2 to 3 ft, the drivers side was up 4 ft.

Thanks we are having fun with it. It took a few trips to work out the bugs. 3 trips in a row now with nothing to fix!

Only near to the house to check things out after working on something. The spool in the rear and the manual steering rack make it no fun to turn, also front sway bar is off.

Ouch, that stinks, well i guess as long as you have fun with it, personally i'd swap it to a limited slip differential, some et streets and power steering with a sway bar to make it a fun street car, but you already have the cobra so i see your point in leaving it a drag car

I also have the 88 GT with the Votech that is making 530HP.

Dyno today showed 584 RWHP running lean (42# injectors)
Doug was there to see it, he says I need to go to 60# injectors.

nice, glad to hear the update, you need to change your screen name to forced induction since everycar you own is unnaturally aspirated!

hadn't thought about a screen name change.
I might be taking the SC off this 86 before I split the block.
