Watched FCIDS last night and read the related article in Car Craft magazine. That is one smokin' ride! Some specs listed in Car CRAFT, but I would like to know more.Sounds like a very short time with that car,and it is already a stout performer. Really looks like an iron block, so displacement must be pretty legit.I realize they want to make some money with that car,but cat is out of the bag now. Eric Malone said even he was very impressed. I would very much like to know more engine and rear gear specs,but that is probably a very well kept secret. Anybody know? Thanks, Bill

Just curious what everyone else saw. Glad to see a big block Mopar under the hood.Money or not, not everyone can run like that. I'm impressed!

Dale Meers did the engine for the Dart, he's a cool Mopar guy. His shop is near Elizabethtown KY, my 434" small block was dynoed there.

It must have a cam for Nitrous in it. It only ran a 6.23 on motor.
5.09 on Nitrous.

From the article:

Deda’s first pass was a 5.91, followed by a 5.11 at 136 mph—when they added nitrous.

I was going by what they showed on the on the E.t. board. I played it in slow motion and looked at the score board.

There was a screen shot of a timeslip, 5.09 @ 135.

I think it's a pretty fun show, a lot more laughing & camaraderie than the usual drama & hype.
Some of those cars look pretty sketchy, though.
