DJ Reid recently joined an elite group as one of the top three fastest 275 leaf spring cars in the country. DJ recently posted a 4.88 ET at 151 MPH at the West Coast Hot Rod Association race on July 27th. DJ's Procharger-assisted small block Camaro is equipped with Cal-Tracs leaf springs and traction bars, and relies on a Hughes Performance Powerglide with a 1.69 gear set. Bringing the whole package together and putting the H.U.R.T. on his competition is a Hughes Performance Heads-Up-Radial-Tire GM101MD billet 10" torque converter.
