Sounds great vs2, only thing is I'm not a fan of NOS....leave it for the cars who need it.
As I like to say, Only babies need a bottle. lol

Neither am I really, it would be just for the strip only. Considering the use to cost ratio of re-building the engine to 1000hp it is not worth it to me...lol...I'll be lucky to keep it straight with the power its got now.

LOL I'll say, even a stock 426 HEMI would be a handful, in fact any big block car is....cornering? Whats that? lol


So, your guess on the score??

I'm pretty late to this thread, but thought I'd throw out some comments.  First off, nice car!

Running 10s in a ragtop is kinda risky, isn't it?  I'd rather have the strength of a hardtop as a platform.  With the hp/tq required to run 10s, you just might bend the frame.

Thanks and fair enough comment mate, but read the thread as it has a strengthened chassis. The guy that built the car had a Hardtop model before this one and was running in the 9's so he knew what he was doing.

Plius, I won't be making a habit of taking it to the strip.

Ah.  Fair enough.  Welcome to the site, btw.
