660' 8.19 @ 81.12mph

two-step @ 3000 rpm gettin 9lbs boost at the starting line; fuel pressure turned up to 50lbs. shifting at 5800

Think we blew a head gasket but haven't taken it apart yet.

Seems the battery disconnect was helpful but still want to get more data to confirm it. car was pretty dang consistent all day.

Thoughts???
Sounds about right on the boost . You ARE working with more CFM than I am.

Yes, 1035 Felpro is the wire ring gasket. About $50. Haven't kicked one out yet. Change the bolts every third install. Every time, if it's in the budget.
