Finally after 7 years of blood sweat and money my 68 GTX is nearing completion. I shelved the original 440 for a "stock appearing" 525 Arruzza Hemi. 11-1 comp, solid roller cam, worked Stage V heads, Vanke intake, stock hemi carbs. May upgrade to edelbrock 750s soon. New Mcleod SFI flywheel and clutch, freshened 18 spline 4 speed, and exchanged the 3.54s in the Dana for 4.10s. I've only driven it 4 or 5 miles and it's pretty snappy. I've since added 2756015 M&H drag radials on 15X8 magnum 500s.

A former co-worker has an 09 Shelby GT500 and has talked some smack all along. I'd really enjoy showing him the backside of the X. I really think deep 11s are possible with this car, maybe better, but I haven't been on a dragstrip in years. I'm no Ronnie Sox or Joel Nystrom, but I truly believe I should be able to cover that Shelby. What do I need to do as far as setting up the car and driving technique to get out front and stay there. THANKS GUYS!
