We have been working hard to find improvement on both cars. Many things including the suspension, transmission, converter, rear gear and the new aluminum block engine have all been part of the journey. We are getting there and have now caught the fastest COPOs and Cobra Jets. We'll keep at it so we can hopefully come out swinging in the NHRA and NMCA Factory Stock events in 2018. YouTube video of the relatively soft hit 8.02 run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbCpLQYDV1g

My sources tell me they make more. The problem they have had is hooking up on 9 inch tires. They are 3mph faster than the others, so it seems to match up.

Cars with a 2.3L Eaton supercharger must weigh a minimum of 3,300 lbs. Cars with a 2.9L Whipple supercharger must weigh a minimum of 3,550 lbs Doug I don't know which blower the Drag Pak cars use, but @3300lbs......170mph shows over 1200hp. That's impressive!!
