thanks! it has a 331 and a c-4. edelbrock heads, victor jr. intake, 1 5/8 headers with 3" x-pipe through 2 chamber flowmasters. 9" inch rear with 488's and slapper bars. runs in the 10.70 range at 122 mph. i have had a best 60' of 1.36. i'm guessing a little over 400 hp to the rear wheels maybe. i run a footbrake style class and its all motor at 2900 lbs. with me in it. i change to 543 gears in the fall to run 1/8 mile and it will clear the 60' marker on a good cold day. and yes those bumpers were chromed steel i painted them orange

 

The car looks nice, what kind of suspesion you going with?

 

nice pic. good looking car.

 

right now it has comp engineering 90/10's up front and carquest specials on the rear with comp engineering traction bars everything else is stock. i plan on aerospace brakes and qa1 adjustable shocks all the way around. maybe a few adjustments in the front like a bump steer kit, roller bearing spring perches, and lower the upper control arm. i hate to change much because it is very consistent now.

 

Maverick8003 - What are the specs of your Mav including the engine and tranny? I want to do my car the same way. I like the way those front tiers jump off the ground at the green light.

 

Ooh, ooh! What size rear wheels and tires? Stock suspension w/o tubbing?

See what you've done. I do have to agree here with alot of what i am seeing. People are real interested in you setup. If it would not be too much trouble, we would all love to see more info regarding your motor setup, trans, suspension & rear end setup, and wheel/tire specs. Seems like a lot of guys experience rubbing so any time someone has a sweet combo that works, pass on the info. Again... sweet ass ride!!
