Still a Road car. Ran 12.3 at the Pod.

Still lots of money there, which is why the really speed conscious go Big Block - and then spend Even MORE money!!!

Totally agree, my Cortina just sat down at the rear and went off the line, it's no good sitting there spinning the tyres, that gets you nowhere. I found the mickey Thompson ET street tyres worked great, better than full slicks so will be going that route to start with. I have checked the setup as much as I can in theory with all the different calculators and with 26" dia rear tyres it should be best, probably won't be ! but a good starting point. I may have to put it on a rolling road to get more accurate figures to work with.

1972 Dart shares the same grille with your Demon if you weren't aware. Undamaged grilles are hard to find and expensive, expect to pay a thousand bucks....
