I think this baby has a 9.4 in her. It's a vert so after one pass they said no more (I do have a Maximum Motorsports 4 point cage). I did an 1/8 hit and I'll show that slip too. The official time was 9.65 @ 150.97. You can see the 1/8 was much better (didn't hit the rev limiter on that one).

Basics on setup?

Thank you!

Teksid block
9.5:1 Gibtec Pistons
E85
ARP studs
3.25 Griptec upper/6# lower (30 pounds of boost).
T56 Magnum
A ton of weight reduction.
Tuned by Malcolm.
Launched a little harder than I wanted (first pass in a year). Next pass on an 1/8 hit I pulled a 1.37 60' which I think could have put me at a 9.5X or possibly a 9.4X.

Well that thing moves good man!

Sounded like you hit the limiter and then struggled a little hitting 3rd so you couldve trapped even quicker!
