It is a cool car, I would like to know more about it. I assume its a 358 as that is most of the R5P7 engines are. The car seemed to make the trips without issues and seemed to always hook up.
However it was not as fast as the Bowers/Miller 411 inch R3/W8 PG Dart.

Not true. The swedish Dart averaged a better 5 day result than the Bowers deal.9.392 versus 9.436.
I would agree the Swedish Dart had a faster average and was faster most of the days. Brad and Brett ran a 9.097 on Friday (I think). Not sure why they did not turn that one in. Friday was the only day they made two runs. I am pretty sure the run on Monday was the first time the car had been down the track since being configured for Drag Week.
So in my opinion while the Swedish Dart was very cool, fun to watch and fast, it was not as impressive to me as the performance of the Bowers/Miller Dart, which did win its class.
The Swedish Dart was so heavily modified it had to run in Unlimited with no chance to win. Of course it completed Drag Week which is a win by itself.
Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Average 9.579 138.14 | 9.290 142.55 | 9.370 142.06 | 9.460 142.93 | 9.259 145.38 | 9.392 142.21 - Swedish Dart
A 1.38 60' and 5.81 in the 1/8, I wonder what it would've ran if the 60' had been down where it should've been? The 408 in my Dart went 1.38 a bunch of times but the best ET was 6.57.
