Something to think about...are you OK with the exposed 8-71, carbs, and the hole in the hood if you have to drive through a heavy rain storm during Dragweek? I don't know how light your Rampage will be, or how hairy the engine will be, but that 10.80 is certainly attainable w/o the blower.
If it were me building a car for DW, I'd instead go with a flat or cowl hood, build a mild 408, and add a small 150 shot of nitrous. It would be a more road worthy, reliable, all-weather friendly setup. Of course, if money was no object, I'd go the turbo route.



That was my concern... weather with a blower... but
I really think the blower would look cool.... I
expect the car to be 2800 with driver.... these are
the rules for DD class which is really the only class
I can fit in due to my health/license issue(cant
go sub 10.0 for NHRA) but 10.80 is the break for DD




* Daily Driver has no limitations on drivetrain or body modifications. Cars quicker than 10.80 are not allowed in Daily Driver, and e.t. slips quicker than 10.80 will not be accepted.
* Daily Driver entries are not eligible to win Drag Week(tm) overall.
* Throttle stops and bracket-racing electronics of any kind are not allowed.
* Daily Driver is based on an Open Comp format. Each car's five-day average e.t. will be used to determine qualifying position on a 32-car ladder for a bracket race on the final day of Drag Week(tm). At tracks with e.t. slips to four decimals, all four will be included; if only three decimals are on the e.t. slip, then the fourth decimal will be zero. The e.t. averages will be taken out as many decimal places as required to determine qualifying. Ties will be broken by average mph. The race on the final day will be a 32-car field on a Sportsman ladder (1 races 17, 2 races 18, and so on) and a 0.500-second full tree. Normal breakout and first-or-worst rules apply. Each car's dial-in for every round (the dial-in cannot be changed between rounds) will be the five-day average minus a tenth, so a weekly average of 12.20 gets a dial-in of 12.10; in the event that a car averages 10.89 or quicker, the dial-in will be 10.80. Any run quicker than 10.80 will be considered a "worst" and will lose the round. The bracket-race winner will be the overall Daily Driver Champ. In the event of a rainout on the last day, the winner will be the quickest car with the best consistency throughout the week. But there are also a lot of other potential prizes for Daily Driver racers, so read on.
