Yes, but I'm using a Windsor block. I'm dropping the compression ratio a bit with some dished CP pistons.

I'm glad I didn't lose to that camry, I almost did too

Mike you need to show us carnage pics of the spark plugs you melted half way down the track on your 150 jets.

Mike, you toasted your plugs too? Sweet, Im not the only one!

Edit: That "hesitation" while in 4th... what rpm did it hit at and exactly what happened? Sounds like converter lock up to me...

Did you notice the flames coming out of my exhaust on each shift?That must be from the shift interupter when you step on the clutch.Heres the carnage four of the eight plugs melted.

I might be able to swing that.Would be nice to get on some good preped track.If time alows i will get up to the Dyno and try to get that 150 shot to work with less timming and colder plugs and also 100 octane.
Hopefully the clutch can handle one more track session.

Mind if i crash the party.

I don't have time to upgrade my fuel system. I'm buying .032 and .050 nitrous jets. They should be about a 112 shot. That should give me the 11.60 I've been looking for.

BTW John welcome to TMS.
George just throw the 125 shot in.You can run it.I am running the 125 with my regular Nitrous tune.I dont even put in the 125 tune.
I might give the 150 another shot if we can race on sat.I will lower the timming and put in the 100 octane.Where can i get those H2o plugs quickly?

I got the plugs from sparkplugs.com $10.20 each and I think it's $20.00 for 2 day shipping. LINK

Ok just ordered them.I will give you your others back after I get those.Then we both can know we have extras just in case.
