72 Dodge Demon Street Bruiser or Strip

Did you build that 408 at the same time Donnie built his 416? Both of you guys are having real issues with the 60' time and I suspect it probably has to do with too loose converters and the high axle ratio but what do I know?

Will that roll cage pass tech for a 6 second car? Not that it matters much cause our track doesn't seem to care much at TnT. Brackets may be different.

Gimme a call to discuss. I may come up and buy it. Chris

Chris, my car was built before Donnie's but both cars hit the track for the first time on the same night. Donnie's car has a stock leaf spring with stock shocks and spun bad with drag radials. It still spun with slicks but improved greatly. If he dont sell his car, we are going to upgrade the suspension on his to either SS springs or Caltracs this spring. My traction problems were a combination of a small 255 drag radial, no suspension tuning at all, and a track that will not hook. They dont spray the track on test n tune night. If I put a set of slicks on my car and tune the suspension in a little, my car will hook just fine. I do agree with you about the gearing though. I like a 4.10 tops because I like to drive on the street a bunch. If my car dont sell, it will have a 4.10 in it before it goes back to the track and a pair of slicks. The roll cage in my car is chromoly and has already been certified. The certification has ran out but will re-certify to 8.50 in the quarter or 150 MPH. I work third shift so sleep during the day. You can call me anytime late evening or night. I PM'd you my number. Thanks
