So here I am chilling in Iraq looking at HotRod because next to my kids I miss the cars the most and on page 89 of the February issue of HotRod is TonyS451's 4 door street sweeper! Seems the Aussie that bought it is not the shoe that Tony is, he only ran high 11's! Nice
Get your back fixed and build another car!
Gimme a break! Tony ran a best of 11.65(I think) I ran a best of 11.71 The car slowed to 11.8s during the week due to a hesitation as I hit top gear. Not sure why but after consulting Tony we think it may be some crap in the fuel system. I have kept the car to use next year so will investigate next september. Great car by the way.... Cool sleeper and a credit to Tonys building skills. Looking forward to running it next year. May need a recommendation as to a good dyno tuner in the milwaukee area just to help nail down that hesitation. We are really short on time once we get there. Thanks for the photos Ray, I didn't have any under hood shots. Our other cars have landed and we can pick them up Jan 5! Yes we are very patient!

Yep the Demon when 10.03 on a 10" tire with the 451 and Max wedge ported SR's. We have the SR's on the dart now and the Demon when to Texas. I should have picked up the Demon, or the wagon, or the 4 door, or Well at least I got to work on all of them

Big Tony in Iraq! Get your butt back home already. I hope its soon...Thanks for spotting the old 4 door and thanks everyone for the nice words. Steve is correct, my best pass with the hydraulic flat tappet cam that is currently in the engine (244@.050/.540 108lsa Straightline Performance)was 11.65 at 114. So Steve did pretty well considering he drove the heck out of it too. It did go 11.55 at 116 with a 238 @ .050 /.540 112lsa solid flat tappet. My guess is the other cars in his class had headers. That being said, I wonder how well Steve and the 4 door would have fared with a decent set of headers? I havn't been around here much, except for the occasional lurk, but I'm starting to get the itch again to get this car going. I'm 3 months into recovery from back surgery, and hope to start turning some (light) wrenches again after the holidays. I sold my 62 Savoy and have this goofy idea to build a 62 Chrysler Newport. I have a stroker in the works, but we'll see what happens with this one. Thanks again for noticing and congrats Steve on a great job at Drag week.
