Thanks for all the congrats! I'm stoked it went this far. I didn't even take a camera or anything to the dyno. The only real reason I went was to get my numbers on the record board for funs-ies. See, it's a friend of mine just up the road from me, and he and his clan are "LS" guys. We tease each other pretty much daily via text. The highest record before this new dyno day was a Camaro SS at 381 whp. I told him I was gonna come up there and put my numbers on the top of the board, to which he replied with a picture of a 4-cylinder Forced Induction area on his board. I said "NO, I mean I'm gonna come up there, put my car on the dyno, and you are going to have to put my numbers on the TOP of your record board"
I accomplished that
That morning, when I first arrived, my friend strapped his fox body with a 347 stroker on the rollers and we tuned on it. Little more timing, little less fuel, and he made 362 whp. Then another guy rolled his 320-some cid Fox Body on the dyno and made 325hp. He sprayed it with 100 shot and made 402hp and close to 400 lb/ft IIRC.
Then we went and got my Dad's 2007 Charger (5.7L Hemi....warmed over ) and made 379 whp..... We tried and tried to get that extra 3 hp to beat that Camaro SS, but just couldn't muster it. We'll go back again with the headers open

Congrats, James!
Wow, congrats man!!
BTW, came across this video of the same pull(?) that shows the numbers and such more clearly. Just in case anyone who stumbles across the other one is skeptical.
Over on bangshift somebody compiled list of best passes for multiple drag weeks. James' Omni was number 213. (Pat's Shadow was 260. Jeff Mass' Omni was 304, MaryBeth's Talon was 363)

Wow, that's pretty cool that we all made it on that list!
The comments on bangshift about the Omni are rather funny.
"I'll give you anything you'll ever need and I'll find a way to turn you into a monster."
Yeah, I'm not sure even shot that video, but it was the guy who owns the dyno who posted it on YouTube. Cool!
I agree!!! I LOL a lot at the comments on Bangshift and Facebook!

This one is by far the funniest. I can't tell if he is trolling or serious but wow it almost had me in tears!

I owned an Omni GLH (before the turbo was introduced). It was the most stinking, ratty, miserable experience I’ve ever had with vehicle ownership. Bought it new. Was lucky to have sold it less than 18 months later…way less than 18 months. It was pure garbage. Each and every system on the vehicle failed. I couldn’t believe it. And the car is moron stupid low tech. It was literally at the dealer’s shop at least 50% of the time I owned the piece of s**t. I couldn’t sell it quickly enough. Only had to wait till it got outta the shop to put it onto the market. Total garbage. Worse than garbage. Total stinker. Deserves to rust out. Hated it. Never bought a Chrysler product since. Crapola. I’ve been waiting 27 years to vent on that slop box of a dumpster with wheels.
congrats on the awesome dyno numbers. Love how the dyno is set up in an old barn complete with dirt floors and holes in the walls lol.

Congrats James! It was good seeing you as well. Hopefully you've got some new ideas brewing, and you know I'll do what I can to help facilitate.

So, 10.24 @ 141.33 was the best ET run, was this also the highest mph trap? (rumours floating around about higher trap speeds, just looking for some confirmation)
Reeves, you should update your sig when you get a chance
