Back in the early 80's I would drive my Cuda to the track with the slicks in the back seat and the floor jack in the trunk. I'd change the tires and drop the pipes and race. The car would go 11.70's-80's 115-117 mph. The eng. was a 440+.030, TRW dome piston (actual comp. 10.9) Crane hyd.552/528 cam, torker, vac. 750, hooker 1-7/8" headers, 3500 stall conv. and 4.56 gears. An 11 sec. street car was pretty rare in the 80's especially with a hydraulic cam but other than the 4.56 gears being a little too much it was pretty mild mannered. Here's a pic with 12.00 on the window from late in 81. I was 19 I wore that 12.00 on the window like a badge of honor.
