My Dart went 14.18 at 98.7mph at the PS drags in '06 weighing 3600lbs, stock 56k long block right down to the original plastic coated cam gear and timing chain that was almost loose enough to pull the chain off without removing the gears. I came back home and it went 99.7 with no changes at all except for being at a track near sea level. Only thing not stock on the car was the 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust pipes , no crossover. No it wasn't a barn burner but I felt it had 13's in it if I could have gotten it to 60ft better and with a fresh timing chain, but I never got the chance to do that.

wow john,um,thats,um,impressieve....
your advice is well founded and always appreciated. to the original poster,he is right.
my 67 coronet at 3700#s,100,000+ mile 400,boat anchor unported 516 heads,comp XE268,cheapie summit headers,performer RPM,750 holley,2 1/2 non-mandrel bent duals,2400 converter,3.55's,run on 255/60/15 drag radials, struggles to lay down 12.94-13.10 (well over 50 time slips to prove it) with the pistons .115 in the hole. yeah,what ever you do poster,make sure and get all the compression you can get.it's incredibly cruicial. my coronet sure needs it. which,consequently,would easily hand that dart,it's azz.
