Best 11.02 @ 123, But it usually runs 11-teens or low 20s through the mufflers on DOT tires.
451 low deck built by me/machined and balanced professionally, 10.75:1, rpm heads, PRH solid roller .631/.262/266, victor/1000 or 950 carbs
2" super comps, homemade exhaust, 727 with 9.5" converter, 4.10 Dana.

The 451 engine was a giant step up from the former 484 cam, stock piston smog 440 that ran pushed the car to 12s for what seemed like forever.

I haven't raced it since last May 5th and didn't really prepare the car other than taking everything out of the trunk.
I forgot to drop tire pressure and had 20lbs cold in the quick time pros at the time, which in retrospect was stupid of me, but whatever.
I just wanted to drive the darn thing and concentrate on doing that.
It went 7.15, 7.16, 7.17, 7.17 and then loaded up and drove home.

I don't own a trailer but have been looking at them for awhile, and might go that way at some point.

I have driven my 9 sec Cuda to the track......I don't do it often, as I am not into changing tires at the track, but I have done it. When I have, its on a DOT cheater tire and runs 9.80's. Been wanting to do drag week with it for years. I have my doubts the big Hemi would hold up. I think a G3 Hemi would be a much better option and hold up to the abuse a lot better....

One of the most awesome street/strip builds I have seen here. This is BIG bang for little buck
