Here are a couple of passes of my car for you guys...we were testing my friends Vette at the track that day and I carried the Brick along for fun. The film was shot sometime around 2001 I believe. Lots has changed since then, but we were having fun.
All passes are on pump gas, and 17-19 psi. On my best pass the car was off the scale rich...I had not ran alot of pump gas passes, so the FP was up in the 90 psi range at the big end just to be safe. The pass vs. the Vette it ran a 1.59 short time on 275-50 BFG drag radials.
The car has turned some 1.48 60' on Nitto 275-40-17's drag radials since then.
The Vette is a twin turbo setup, built by my friends and I, and the Malibu has a Buick V6 in it of course!

It ran in the 12.20's all day around 113 mph...the 11.94 pass @ 119 was touching 19 psi, but it had a lazy 1.90 60', and only a 7.63 @ 96 in the 1/8th. I got a little brave and pulled the FP down to 60 psi at WOT...but it still was way rich...kinda looks like a Powerstroke going down the track! The chip normally liked about 24-26 psi to get the A/F up into the 11.4- 11.6:1 range. Oh well!
Enjoy,
