Video of Duster 340 at Numedia through the exhaust

I have to tell you all what happened at inspection. A guy walks over to the car and asks if it is a 48 or 59 degree block. My son says 59. The man looks him in the face and says Your motor is junk and it will be on the trailer after the first run.

He then tells us that he had several 59's and they do not last. He has a 48 now built by Shady Dell speed shop. ( If you guys remember He built my first motor that didn't last the Dyno pulls) He said it is the most powerful and dependable motor he has ever had.

I went Up to the track store later and saw him standing by an Altered and swung in with the buggy. He was tightening his flex plate bolts. In his 2400 lb. altered
I asked him what was up and he told me that is motor has so much power that they keep coming loose. I asked him what RPM's it sees? he told me 6500 I told him we shift at 7500 1-2 and 7800 2-3. That is in a full dress street car with the spare in the car 3600 lb street driven car.

He told me thats impossible that my motor is junk. We went 9 passes in the 10's @ rpms up to 8500 and 9000 on some. he went 1 1/2 passes @ 6500 and . they towed him off. That is carma! His time was 10.50. once

It ends up he lives dow the street from me and we do not know each other. We're are now committed to going 10.00 through the mufflers cranking the stereo driving by his pit with 4 people in the car. Asking him if he needs a tow.
