I have to wonder how many of these "street cars" that are running 10's and low 11's are running a nitrous kit to get there?
The only power adder I have is my right.... and left foot!!!!!  
Same here as I have never even owned a car with a power adder. But I have to live within my budget and I cant afford to blow up many engines so I like to stick to N/A like many here. Just put about 50 miles on my 63 tonight driving to a cruise spot. I do enjoy that I do drive my car to the track and race it just as I drive it on the street capped up on pump. Actually I have never uncapped my 63 or had race gas in it and thats ok with me as I am getting old and dont want to slide under the car at the track to uncap it and I cant afford race gas anyway.

I havent run a true street car on the track in over 20 years... couldnt afford to bust it up.. now I built the Rampage but it hasnt been on the track YET.. but based on math it should run 9.80.. but I only want 10.0 to 10.1.. I'm hoping to get out in a week or so to start dialing things in... I worked on the carb the other day but I went a touch lean for cruise.. seen the coolant temp raise 5* in the cooler evening temps.. was great in the heat of the day.. so I'll fatten it up some then start some WOT testing at the track... so till then its all just math and I'll let you know how it does on the track

Just drove mine to the local 1/8 mile track last night, which is only about 20 miles each way. I'm sorting out a new combo and only hooked on one pass (where I took off in 2nd gear). Went 6.42 @ 113.47 with only a 1.602 60' time. 100% factory interior, drag radials, exhaust, all steel 70 Charger. Not the quickest thing out there, but not many cars around here drive to and from the track.
That's pretty good MPH in the 1/8  work on those 60's and all is Good.

It has potential. I did leave out that it has a Procharger.  The car was previously a N/A car that went 6.71 @ 101.5 with a 1.44 60' All I did was swap head gaskets and the cam when I threw on the blower. I'm still tuning as last night was the first outing with the setup, but I see 6.1X @ 115 as a real possibility. I need to learn to read plugs better but my wideband is saying I'm pretty rich. I'm only running 8-9 PSI as well.

Mine is not a car but I drive it on the street. I have been driving my D50 to the track and running it. It is a 40 mile round trip and the best ET so far has been 6.29, 109 with a 1.33 60ft. It is small block on 93 pump gas, drag radials, mufflers and 2950 lbs. I just put a bigger carb on it this weekend and hope to go faster this Friday night.
1.33 60 ft,6.21 at 110.59 in the 1/8, pump gas small block,2950lbs,drag radials,mufflers and driven to track ...

Hey Doug, the Anti Tour this year is tentatively going to Escondido on Friday ,July 25th then to grudge night at Barona the next day, haven't heard a definite plan.
I've never been able to get pics onto this site as I'm not great with computers and my old laptop had issues, maybe I can get my new laptop to get it done.
