Car looks great, Chip. Glad it's running so good in this weather. The heat and humidity are killer here lately. Trees in my area are already turning brown. Your Cuda will be around a long time after the foxbody splits another block.

Dragula...it's a Pro Systems 1200 which is a modified 1150. Mine has always gone faster w/ the bullet mufflers right off the headers compared to the full exhaust. I have not compared these Hooker Max Flows to the Bullets yet though. I suspect the weight of the system is the biggest issue.

340cuda...I have Vikings at all 4 corners. up

Fast68...Yes, it definitely got some attention back in the pits after my first test pass, lol.

hemi it is...the 60' is actually about a tenth quicker than the timeslip shows being that the back tires are what tripped the beam. I'm still chasing that elusive 1.2x sixty foot! Doing the math, the car is solidly in the 8.80s now. If I can get the 60 foot down, I believe 8.70s are there.

stickman...thankyou!

tex...LOL, the first time it stood up on me a few years ago it took me by surprise. Now not so much, but it's still a rush. I love it, lol.

sgcuda...thanks bud. I used to hate hot weather racing when NA, but nitrous obviously has the ability to cool things down and not affect it so much. I absolutely love the fact that I now have more power down low than I can ever use (most likely) and have to manage it. Before (on motor only) in hot weather the car felt anemic.

mustang ran 4.80s that day, but has been faster.
MC runs high 5s.
Cutlass runs low 6s.

MC ran the Cutlass in the first round and broke an axle. So the fastest car ran the slowest car in the final.

Really appreciate all the comments yall! beer
