my best cylinder is 125, i spray 80 and no probs

130 isn't all that great from what i hear, but could be worse.

we're getting tired though thats for sure

130 is not too good. But the good news is your stock, so if you break you will have a good excuse to build a engine. Spray the **** out of it.

this was a dry test and the car sat for hours, also forgot to disable fuel.

i already have a 306 being built on the side

not really worried about blowing this one up, it holds 60 psi oil pressure all day

oh ya, she ran 14.9 @ 94mph... i made a big mistake going up there on a friday. i sat in staging for 2 hours. the track prep sucked *** by the time i got to run. big burnout, holding stall to 1000rpm's and i cut 2.4 '60ft [:@] i neeeeeed D/Rs!!

the gt500 infront of me ran 13.5 just a little comparison for ya....
