    What was 1/8 mile time and mph?

    More gear and more launch rpm may cause a higher wheelstand

    As long as it hold traction I see 8.90s......what rpm was the shift and through the top end.

    My car isn't an apples to apple . But 4.30s shifting 6500,6500 goes through the top end 67/6800 ........I would guess if i went 7/7 on the shift it would roll through the top end right on 7k

    I saw some videos on FB and that is a very impressive car. Does it have the same Stage 4 487 engine that you recently dynoed (837 hp), except now with fuel injection or is it a completely different 487? Either way this car is representing the Buick camp extremely well. Great job and good luck with the new gears.

    That is a badass ride!! Saw it in person at the Nationals!


    While I am not Nick,I am for certain that is the same engine that was dynoed from speaking to Brandon.

    They have big plans for the car!

    Being that's a 28 tall tire that gear change I would expect to see + 500 rpm on top end.


    Thanks for the help with the crank trigger over the winter, it works spot on

    I'm not Bruce (he is BQUICK) but thanks for response. ;)

    I couldn't imagine that there were two 800+ hp 487s out there. Once again, awesome job with that engine. Who owns the car? On top of being very fast, I love the way the car looks. It sits just right.

    Great times and nice runs! I’ll take a guess with the gear change - 8.65. Cooler air 8.40’s.
