I know lots of guys that keep there cars in the mid 10's for lack of proper safety equipment and they don't want to spend the money it would take to do so. I myself put steel doors on my Duster over the Winter to slow my high 9 second pump gas small block down to low 10's. I love running 8's in the Daytona but the Duster is a fun, simple car to race. I throw 5 gallon of 93 octane gas in it and go racing. Single layer coat and wind down the windows after the pass. I know for a fact that you can run 8's-9's a lot cheaper with a big block than you can with a small block.
