Yes Sir right on the Nose!4.56, 29.5", 149 mph. I'm betting 8000-8200 rpm in the traps.

What program are you using there?

Boost is wonderful for sure. I went 157mph at US41 but spun so it was slower. The chute hit in the traps on this pass or it would’ve been faster. The deer hit was the next pass so that ended our week. The 1.41 is my best 60 but I’ve repeated it multiple times on marginal track prep so I think I can go 1.30s. As for learning curves, it’s been a two year curve trying to figure it out and this is the first year I don’t feel lost! LolLook at that MPH vs weight. Boost is a wonderful thing. It took us a while to get my sons SB turbo car to 60ft. Eventually made it into the 1.39-1.40 range. Though the car wasn't as quick by any means best 9.55@142, 3775lbs, 3.54, 275 MT radials. It was a rpm vs boost vs timing learning curve.

I agree with ALL of that. Honestly I'm surprised and amazed at how fast my dear friend's Vette is! He and I (and a number of our mutual best friends) all go back to our early teens knowing each other (in our late 50s now, and I'm 60) and we were "car guys" way back in high school and have been since! So if I never "catch up" to his car, that's fine, that's not why I got my Roadrunner and that's not why I'm building the 572, or all the prep work, parts, and systems I've put in it, I did all that for ME because it's what I wanted to do.A bit of realism here Bio, if its first to the line then in all honesty from what I saw its going to be hard work, that car 60's, not impossible as Peter with the black Cuda runs 8's with a stick, see previous video, but thats a dedicated big tyre race car.
To beat that 9.20 your going have to make 1000hp with the N20 and 9.0's@149+ @3700lbs currently!, can be done of course and with a 29" tyre with your gearing its 7100 in the traps, not really a problem. But that is going to take a lot of sorting to work well and you'll be pushing your stuff hard and you better have it sorted good, not a lot of room for errors there.
Not being defeatist here at all as I'm an ET chaser as you know BUT its such a nice car it would be a shame to to put it though all that, its not a take it apart and rebuild it if it gets damaged which doesn't mean a whole bunch with a race car, for one your g/box won't handle that power I doubt.
I would get it built and enjoy the streets with some 1/4 mile action thrown in, see how it goes, you've got the parts to do it but perhaps think it all through a bit more before going for it is what I would say.
I'd love to make a 9 second pass. actually I do every run but the 9 sec part is about 300 ft from the finish line
