I remember talking to Dave W when he was building motors back then, late 80's I think?
Very nice car.

God stuff - what are your best times, 60 foot, etc???

60 ft - 1.44
1/8 et - 6.50
1/8 mph - 106
1/4 et 10.25
1/8 mph 130
as i say we have the wrong rear gearing in the car atm so times will hopefully come down to 9s next year.

Might hurt the 60 foot time though.
We were running the taller slicks on the Barracuda at the HRD's and we got a bit more mph but a big hit on 60 foot........

im not to bothered what the 60ft times are aslong is i can get the car to run the old super gas 9.90 index like it was built to do
