"499", stock block, mild 440-1 heads, footbrake, 8 3/4 rear, full int, stock framerails, 8 1/2" wheel w/10" tire, no power adders, single carb, exhaust, all steel except hood and front bumper, 3200 plus lbs. 1.3 60ft, 9.3's at 145... "

You know it just isn"t FAIR.
Our 493 Indy heads,682 roller,13.5,1050 Dominator etc. at 3400 lbs. only ran low 10's at 135.Short times in the 1.40's with 14 inch slicks and a Transbrake! Put the DANA in cuz we figured it would kill the 8-3/4!
Had to put 150 shot to it to go 9.50's!
And you did it not only once but with 2 different cars!!!
Mopar to ya

JMO at that weight/mph that combo should easily be in the 9's,I would consider working the short times down some(NA)then spray the yell out of it.

Thanks for the props!
Just put good parts( ignition, fuel system, conv and trans etc...) all around your car and good things happen.
The green car(my Brothers) is an all aluminum 440" small block.


It's a bigblock with a torque flight!!!

Racerx we did go 10.16 in good air on our home track and would have probably been in the 9's at a National event track like Maple Grove! But there is a HUGE difference between squeeking into the 9's and running low nines at 145 mph like he is doing!!!
Once again Mopar to Ya
You obviously know how to put a combination together to work to it's maximum potential!!!

Thanks Mike!
Where abouts in Pa are you? I'm right at the Pa/Md line, about 20 minutes from Mason Dixon. I'm sure we have probably crossed paths before and just didn't know it.
Talk to ya soon
