Took my 67 Formula "S" 383 fast back Barracuda to the track [Milan Dragway] this past summer on a Thursday test & tune. The track is prepped very good. I was asked to take a "M-Live" reporter down the track. How fast can I go with a rider??? Car went 11.00 @ 122 & change with two people weighing in at 450 pounds! Next the track manager wanted to go for a ride [female]. much lighter! Car went 10.97 @ 123. Finally I got to take a couple passes on my own. One good pass 10.78 @ 124 and backed it up with a 10.81 also @ 124. Now some specs. 440 +.030. Ross pistons, true 11:1 compression: indy heads & intake, 1050 carb; roller cam .613 lift, duration @ .050 254. Car runs through the exhaust [3" full to the tail pipes]. Dana 60 with 4.10's. ET drag radials. 727 and manual valve body by turbo action. Full interior and a 6 pt. cage. No modifications to the suspension. No snubber no bars no anything! I have had the car run a little better but this is the average pass Most always 124 mph most always in the '70's. This on 93 octane with a mix of 110 just for the smell of it! Thats all folks!
