The power starts leveling off around 8250 RPM too. I guess all of this is supposed to be a sign. It's a sign that the time has come to go all out and start on my next goal for this project. The plan is to slowly get the car in race trim and try to get the engine making 600 HP without nitrous.

omg, this is sick
