I ran 150.47 on the 9.20 pass. I've been 151 and 152 and 149 a couple of times also. I've always asked for videos from back then from everyone. I've never seen any videos of my runs. Video cameras were not that popular in the last century!

I only hit 149mph once, but then again, only went 9's once too, but still went! lol..
And the stock tranny effects your 60' when the output shaft snaps like a twig!

It was a 8.75 Mopar!
Back then racing was a serious buisness if you wanted to make it to the finals.
I was there when Gaby ran that! I don't think the car was at 600hp at that time because it was still on the smaller turbo.

Reliable means it actually made it down the track after the 60ft! 
I know it was 1.3 something. More than likely a 1.39.
Anything quicker and it was a snaped output shaft. Most of the times the driveshaft could not be remove from a twisted shaft especially after breaking 3rd gear for like the million time.
Good thing is that there are ways around that now and it does not require a new main/output shaft for the tranny.

My buddy got a couple of mid to low 1.4's with BFG drag radials at one event. He even won a set of free tires for doing it!

Theres a guy up in winter haven that makes helicut dog gear set
does away with 5th gear, but the weak point is still the shafts
I could even have a pro-shifted kit installed in a T2 transmission
but still again the stock shafts are the weak point , unless you have some slippage on your take offs....
My best has been 1.48 on stock suspension
