Well here are the videos. Sorry for the video quality, I'm just lucky someone took videos at all.

First run I pushed through the brakes so I got a red light but you can hear the announcer changing his tune when he saw me wearing a helmet after commenting on letting the "slow" cars run.

Second run felt faster but the timers weren't working. I guess there isn't a video of me running the chevelle but I did find out it was a 0.040 454 Solid roller cam, patriot heads, 850 holley hp.

Most definitely. My other two runs felt better and definitely trapped higher mph, feel like low 11.7 or 11.6 was possible on one of the other runs. So bummed out when the ticket read 2.99 at 0.00 mph.

I believe it was a 1.79 while spinning.

I've got a 1900 waiting to go on as well. Have you had any issues with the transmission at these power levels?
