We were hoping to break into the 12s with the new converter and drag radials. Best last year was 13.26 @ 103.5 with good air. We ran 13.0s and 13.1s most of the weekend until Sunday morning's time trial when the board flashed 12.96 @ 104.2 in the cool air. 60ft was 1.85. I'm extremely pleased for an 8.5:1 340 with a Hughes whiplash cam, headers, and an RPM intake. I never would have dreamed a motor that mild could run so well. Thanks to all for the endless advice you have given my Dad and I on here.

It was also my pleasure to be beside him racing my truck during that monumental pass. I got a real good look at the tail lights.

Thanks guys! I'll post the vid on youtube of Wheelsup taking it easy on the Cuda in his Ram. Until then...I was feeling a bit mischievious the other day before the drag radials went on...

Take a look...

Good job!! I rmember going 13`s then 12`s then 11`s and after years 10`s and finally clicking off my first 9-second pass. You know you`re doomed now if the et bug gets ya......dreaming of ways to get three more tenths off your et,ways to lighten the car carb tweeking etc. Nice car and congrats again.
