It has a warmed up 351W bored .030 over with a set of Proline Cyclone heads. Torquer intake, 780 Holley, Comp Cam vavle train. Had it on a chassis dyno a couple of years ago and It made 311hp at the rear wheels. The guy running the dyno said that the motor has around 415- 425hp at the flywheel. He said that I am losing about 100hp thru the drive line.
I have 3 vids on youtube
It runs 8.60 - 8.80's in the 1/8th most of the time. It has ran an 8.55 sec 1/8th mile.

It has 6" wheels up front with 235/75/15's and 10" wheels on the back with 275/65/15 BFG Comp T/A's

I want to get rid of the steel wagon wheels and get a set of aluminum wheels. I like the Weld draglites and Dragstars but they don't make them with 5.5' lug pattern. At least their website doesn't show them with 5.5"

I like the 7 front and 10 rear setup with 15's. That's what the orange truck has. Take a look at my webpage to see how they look.

The vid with the cobra Mustang, we were side by side all the way down the track untill he hit 3rd gear just before the finish line and he pulled ahead by 1/2 a car length. He had a better E/T but my MPH was faster than his.
