Tisk Tisk leaving the line early really though it's not very fair cause you didnt go forward you just went UP they should make the beam go up another foot vertically for when you come out. Awesome pics and great run again! You inspire me.

This may be a stupid question but I'm still learning sorry Is your 406 a 350 block with a 4 inch stroke or a 400 block bored 30 over?

Funny. Hi Doc. A 406 is a 400 block .030 over. I'm using a World Products block.

Looks like we got our Division 7 NHRA competition # the sameday or something.... I was M773 for many years. Let me guess.... Late 90's was when it was issued to you?

btw, is anybody else having trouble posting here ?..... or is it just me.
Hi Todd, it is just you. I've had my number since the 90's. How is your project coming along?

Hi Will, I live in a gated community and can drive the car around the neighborhood since these are private roads, but other than that, the car is trailered to the track. I just put a sticker from one of my other cars on the plate to make the car appear streetable.

These are 10" Weld wheels with 6" backspacing. I used these when I had the Dana 44 also. Tires are 11.5x28x15 ET Drags.

When my C4 grows up, I want it to be just like Willie's

In true reality, the only resemblance will be the body and paint but at least I can dream...

With Willie and Tim (Caboboy) I have some pretty good people to extract some knowledge from. The addition of the Super Ram that I am getting from Tim, I hope that it will take it from the high 12's down to the mid 12's and pick up a few mph's along the way and still be emissions compliant.
