I haven't see a Gen III in one yet but I saw a guy that had a dragster with a blown Coyote in it(lade model 5.0 ford). It ran like 4.4s in the 1.8th and didn't look like it required any work on it at all. In the morning when people were warming cars up his was sitting there idling while he was standing there drinking coffee.

Welp...we may see another one a year or so from now. I'm leaning towards using a 392 instead of doing a stroker 506. Sure is hard to argue the numbers when you start looking new vs old school. Plus tuning with a laptop sure is a lot easer.

The Wheatcrafts have been running a Gen 3 Hemi in a shorty dragster for years. They are the new owners of Indy Cylinder head and the cars are painting similarly and most say Caged Insanity on them. IIRC the thing run low 8's here in Vegas and is not anything fancy
