385hp at 8,000rpm? What size is the engine, 200 inches? You can get 385hp out of a 302 at 6,000rpm. Unless you're talking wheel hp, but even though you still shouldn't need to turn 8,000rpm. If you're building an engine that makes honest peak power in the mid-upper 7k range, then in all likelihood a T5 would just get tore the hell up in a hurry. Even 385hp at 6k would be a bit of a strain on a T5, unless you do a GeForce gear upgrade.

13.20's with 2.25-2.30 60's, 40+ year old suspension sucks!
Best trap 107.11mph, we'll see what the new intake/carb setup does.
12.80 at 110.5mph NHRA DA corrected
