i looked at the engine and it was the nicest thing about the car. he had gt40 heads, holley 600 or slightly larger carb, headers, dual exhaust. mech fuel pump, knn filter with the xcelarator top. i think it was accel ignition and wires. he still had the clutch fan also.
you and i must be putting down about the same hp numbers. my best is 14.8 but at 93 mph. that was on a cold day also.

Didn't you do a 3.42 to 3.73 swap awhile back?

i have only gone to the track once with the 3.73's and it was a hot day. i had not so good traction and i was running lean. so my times didn't reflect what the gears did for me.

if i hadn't seen the engine i would think the same thing. but i didn't see any lines or plate under the carb with nozzles in it. trust me, i wish i could say it took nitrous to beat me but unfortunatly it was all motor.

haha, you mention the front wheels about to come off the ground. thats what his car looked like. the first race when i yanked the dog snot out of him off the line and got over in front of him, i looked back and just watched his front end lift high into the air. at that moment, he accelerated like a ****!
the interior to that car was pretty much gutted. he had wires hanging everywhere and duct tape over where the center of the steering wheel goes. it looked like a bumper car steering wheel.
