All the lights work, it has an "exhaust system", bigger fuel cell, etc. Most importantly it is legally licensed and insured! This is a poor quality pic of me driving it home. 8208650-firstdrive.jpg (537 downloads) Last edited by nhramark; 07/15/14 12:00 AM.

Still has the 14:1, roller cam, slicks, wheelie bars, and alcohol Dominator complete with 2 mpg economy. Arrrrrggghh!! My simple cell phone pics are too big for this site.

It will slow you down a bunch but a 3" exhaust with cutouts to unleash the power at the track is a great addition Gen 3 power 6.22@110, 9.85@135 Follow @g3hemiswap on instagram performance only racing, CRT, ultimate converter, superior design concepts, ThumperCarbs

It has been collecting dust for the last couple of years. At some point I'll have to figure something out, but for now it's a blast just the way it is....

I would like to run 3 1/2 exhaust all the way as the Proparts headers have a 3 1/2 collector. Would be nice to find a 3 1/2 X pipe but may do an H crossover instead. Problem is that 540 also has 13.9-1 and too much cam (Indy R2) so still on C-16. I'll run it a while that way then drop in less cam and dished pistons.

There is just an extra level of fun to be able to drive your race car on the street. 8209101-Cuda,rear.jpg (165 downloads) 67 Barracuda street car, 408, e85, 1.38 60', 6.44 @105.9 in the 1/8 mile, 10.19 @130.5 in the 1/4...so far....

My days of open headers and slicks screwed to the rims on the street might be over , but my days of drag radials and 3" X piped exhaust are about a week away from beginning. I really appreciate anyone who runs a beast like this on the roads.

I don't have the big compression but it does or has had .767/.676, 288/292@ .050 cam, tunnel ram, 4.56 gears, I have run a 6200rpm stall convertor at one time. It has a 3-1/2" exhaust system and mufflers and they're at least 1/2" to small. I don't think twice about driving it 100 miles to an event, cruise nite or whatever. Dave
