BadAss
How 'bout some numbers(RW/60'/660'/1320/mph?)

That's just a wet dream for me.... struggling to go 9's on the hose in my junk

Stepping up to a SR 408" on a healthy 2 stage direct hit this year....

How'd you pull a crew member gig? ...... be my dream job-

Thanx for the pics.... new wallpaper is kewl. Got any vids?

hell youve got a chance, dragracing aint a rich mans sport, hell im only 17!
unless your running top fuel but thats just CRAZY!!

LOL! Well.... my "chance" came and went many years ago. Just an old wore out blue collar redneck these days. Just run the car in the sig as a hobby/stress relief.

Big mortgage.... car/truck payments
College tuition x 3....
Aggressive/heavy work schedule... = Time/$$$ restraints = low 10's

9.4-5x's with the new setup on the hose is about as good as it's gonna get for the pewter pig..... 'least I won't need to ugrade the cage or do a chute

Btw.... it ain't a rich man's sport if you don't run LSx stuff, break parts and don't mind stayin' in the 9's-10's

hmm suprised you dont even run a 6 point a 10 s, probaly stiffen the car up alot, and be alot safer, btw im gonna start a project soon, 3rd gen camaro with a sbc 400 and a 12 bolt, il keep ya posted

[LowETz]

Am running a 6 point Wolfe(good to 10.0), SFC's, adjustable TA, Wolfe weld in rear drag bar(end linked), adjustable LCA's(end linked) adjustable PH rod, and QA1/HAL 12 ways/drag springs(coil overs on all four).

Car hooks decent for what it is... mid 1.4's.... still looking for that magical/elusive 1.3x 60'.

Take progress pics of the build... love to see 'em!
When's the first points pass for you guys?
