I saw it once and after purging TWO N20 lines, it runs a 14 something.  And then the next time bangs out a 12 something I think....

The red rotary sounded like a loudspeaker breaking up. The Mazda RX7 was quick and pretty quiet.

bah. what's the worst that could happen? drop the driveshaft? screw up the transmission?
funny how people are petrified until they get the first run in. then you realize that with street tires on, it's really just like running light to light. maybe a little more traction, but not all that much. you hear about guys breaking stuff once they get the sticky tires on... once the friction element is neutralized, the power has to go somewhere and it tends to find the weakest link in the chain to break.
seriously, unless you car is really tired, you have nothing to worry about running it at the strip. right, melissa?

I was worried about the rear breaking or something internal on the engine being as I built the top end myself.

internally, if something was going to let go, it probably would have done it already, chances are you've had it up to 4k at least on the street, its only another 1500 rpm to 5500 (i'm guessing where you would shift an LT1, i don't know). racing on a dragstrip is only slightly harder on equipment than merging onto a highway.
And if something that you built broke, that means you need to build it better next time

are most of these guys running kits or are the setups 'home made'?
