The article claims low 6's at 230 mph in the 1/4 mile, but it's dated 2012. I'm pretty sure they have been high 5's with it now in Top Dragster trim.

Here's a June 2018 Dragzine write-up / article: "With 499 cubic-inches of AMC power and a pair of turbos, built by Visner Engine Development using a billet block and intake that was assembled by Barry Alan, O’Brien has been able to rip off sub-six second passes all while staying true to his family’s racing heritage... best elapsed time of 5.97 and 239 mph..." www.dragzine.com/news/amc-time-alan-obriens-six-second-amc-powered-top-dragster/

FWIW, Sportsman racing is limited to 6.00 seconds and slower. That is why there are not any Top Sportsman or Top dragster posted times faster than 6.00 as those runs are disqualified.
