Something like this with trap speeds around 150+ mph

YouTube - Wolverine's new Dyno#@ CFT 321-235-9959

He has been 9.6's @ 160 with this same setup on DR's and a 50 shot

I'm kinda building the west coast version of his.

Howdy!!

Hey Will, long time no see!!

That thing has sure come along way since we first put the bottle on it over 7 years ago. I bet it is a scary ride for sure! Way faster than my lil 2 valve.

Stangler, the new motor sure looks sweet!!!

Close guess, it is a 1974 and the paint color is Sonic Blue.

I am ther second owner and have had it since 1997. When I moved up North I left it at my brother-in laws place for 10 years before I decided to re-do it.
