3275# with me in it, 28" tire, 275/60/15. There was 3 cars in my pit area island that were tubbed with lexan windows, huge hood scoops and no exhaust system running in the 10.90-11.20 area so they got a huge kick out of the Duster. The next day I drove it to a car show and relaxed all day with a big goofy smile. That, right there...doesn't get much better! Congrats Bob, on a great first outing. Very well done car!

Thanks for the positive compliments everyone, you guys have awesome rides so It's good to hear from you! Hopefully I can do some upgrades here and there to make it better but in the mean time I feel content and we're really enjoying the car. An overdrive with more gear would be nice for the street and the strip, along with some much better headers although I do want to stick with the budget build. Our son is not really into cars and he asked if he could do one of his senior photos with the car last week, I was blown away. I drove it an hour away in traffic in 90 degree heat with no problems and we had a blast.

Wow that is fast! 3.23 gears and the battery isn't even in the trunk. I hear Dragway 42 is awesome, we should all get together there in the spring. Yea, Bob...you're doing it all wrong... Battery up front 3.23's Small beat up headers MP .557 (No way, will that cam go 10's we have all heard before) And I love it!!! Awesome combo.

The next day I drove it to a car show and relaxed all day with a big goofy smile. Wow I did not think it was that light because it dont look like you have taken much weight out of it. I thought it was at least that much with out you in the car as I figured it would be 3500 or so with you in it. So thats great and all your cars always seem to run great. And this one is right there as it runs awesome for that combo. It is fun to sometimes run faster then some cars that are tubbed with open headers and all when you run a full exh and are not tubbed isn't it. Ron

Thanks again everyone, I love all the nice comments! It's not hard to make a fairly light weight A-body run good with a big motor but I've never had one this drivable, could easily be used as a daily driver and it is very quiet with an H-pipe, Jones stainless mufflers, and full tailpipes out the back. I think I'm gonna make it a goal for next summer to drive 90 minutes each way to Thompson Raceway and run the 10.50 Renegade class at least once.

Bob I was really courious about your converter. Who is the manufacturer and what size. How's the drivability?

I know I was happy to run my husband's street car (Challenger) into the 11's with 3.23 gears. Congrats Bob! That Duster of yours is one of my favorite cars on here. Thank you, much appreciated!

Bob congrats on your great first track outing with the Duster. The 557 cam works pretty Damn good say. I ran a bunch of 10.55 in the 1/4 with it in my old 3500 pound 65 Plymouth B Body. Keep up the great work and can't wait to hear your next new best et.
