60' 1.714
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???
You need to get an EGT gauge. And tune with that.
The head gasket is usually the first to go, but the valves and the pistons are usually soon to follow
