He backed it up with a 6.963 @ 208.42 MPH.

This is a STOCK BLOCK LT1 destroked to 329 cubic inches. 50 PSI turbo boost, nitrous available but not used on this pass. Trans is a T56 reworked by Tick Performance.

That is incredible! So how are they able to run that much boost? When they took it to 329, what did they do to the compression? At 10.5, I thought the best you could do is ~8lbs. While there's surely lots of other things they did to get that kinda speed, 50lbs. of boost is amazing.
