68 Dart first time out

My goal is 7.50 - 7.60 so now the challenge has started. My self imposed rules at this point. 1. Full interior 2. No mini tubs 3. No roll bar Thinking might need a new set of tires and a driveshaft loop prior to my next trip to the track.[/QUOTE said
You might want to check NHRA and track rules. I don't know how often you plan on running it but if you are going to race every weekend, you might have to run a 8 pt. cage. It depends on how picky the track is about it. I've been to some who obeyed the rules to a tee and some that didn't care if you ran a blown nitro top fuel engine on a lawn mower. I know a car that is capable of running low 11's is required to have a cage. If you're motor is pumping close 500 hp., thats low 11's easy.
