You know if you can run a 10.90 at (it doesn't matter what speed)m and you can cut a GOOD light it wont matter what your top end is, its the one that gets to the finish line first without going under....right!

I think we all agree driving a car is a heck of a lot funner than typing.

Build ya a 1000hp+ 15:1+ compression Pontiac motor send your heads out to have them done and start to finish how much time will it take you?

Then once it's running enjoy it long enough to form your own opinion of it at the end of a long season....

If I zero'd my box out your 8.09 would be in trouble....then it would be about who got to the stripe 1st....lol
If I gota talk smack to ya for you to take Jim's advice and change hats I think you'd be pleasantly surprised at how bad you'd beat me if I went 8.0something in the other lane against you

I have only ONE desire, and that is to go as fast as I can go...So I think i'll skip your suggestion.

These numbers are a little more optimistic.
