I have a sneaky suspicion that you will need to figure out how to keep in out of the 9's. Let me know what you find , because I think I'll be facing the same issue.

In a lighter car absolutely. If it does, I'll be pleasantly surprised. Lenny @ Ultimate is doing a converter for the combo. Should be a good bit faster than it was. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

Rod And this is 110% correct. Consistency! Hoping a big broad torque curve will help in that department. Thank you for getting me the crank so quick Rod!

Makes ya wonder why he did not go BB Hopefully everyone can understand it is about turning on win lights not who is fastest. That is an entirely different animal. I think you will be just fine and where you want to be with the new bullet. Some nice pieces for sure. Be interesting to see what those heads can really do if and when you ever decide to really get after them. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."

Thanks for posting the lifter pics, I was thinking about those for the next freshen up. Glad to see a fun motor is going back in the car. "Just a Bracket car dressed up like a streetcar"

Car ran smoother too due to excellent converter balance, better idle, lower RPMs on the highway, and loads more torque. Lenny is the man. Good luck with the build. That looks to be a very beastly combo...

Now if it said "blazingly fast, predictable, zerox maching of a fat tire car".....well, perhaps! ....btw Dustin, start planning your cage/rules/certification plan... or slow her down. It hooks.....it's going 9's
