Sounds strong! Are those Hoosier's on the rear? Actually was hooking fairly decent and getting with the program considering the power.

Love the Cragar's!

Get back there and check things out to make sure things aren't moving around. Loose bolts, bushing etc.

If the rear wheels ever *toe out* it will tend to dart around back there.

Thanks Jim i didn't know tha.t i had the car alligned about 8 years ago... i just replaced all the bushings. so i know the allignment is out of whack, i can feel the car dart to the right and left when i drove it some more later that day. im going to buy the trq thrust 2 rims soon so the cragars will be up for sale.. i like the look of the cragar but i don't like the rear offset on the car.. so im going to buy 10x18 rear 5.5" back space and 17x8 front (factory backspace) lower the car a little and get the hole car alligned after that!! i hope it wilL launch strait!

Thanks bro, hope to have it in Texas by mid-Sept, new engine is in as well as new factory side exhaust. I'll be sure to drive out in the country and get some new videos.

That thing hooks up great, sounds strong and smooth right up until you let off. Nice job.
