Well I hope the studs will eliminate any head gasket leaking and I guess that I will just have to run a little less over fueling until I get the rest of the mods(cam, springs, injectors, modded cp3 and twins).

I did some Photoshop work on the photo to make things a bit more visible:

Thanks, my ps computer was not available when I got the email or I would have tried to lighten it up a bit. Email resolution is not much to work with. Still it is a good shot, that is the 1/8 mile trigger and I was a little over 86mph at that point.

That was going to be another great run. I just found a 12.65 time slip and I was only going 85.47. That smarty sure is working good on your truck!

Maybe someone could p-shop out the smoke and plug. Still a very neat pic though.

Sense I really did not know it happened until I slowed down it turned into a 12.81s @ 106 slip. I will be backing off the stack settings for a while to find a consistent dial in time. Probably look for 12.9x stack with moderate 15psi launches for the DHRA even in couple weeks.
