I CAN’T DRIVE 145mph

That sounds a lot like a speed-limiter issue in the engine computer, even with a stock 5.7 Hemi the car would literally start to fly before you'd be overcome by drag.

I've had my Duster up to 110 a couple times and there was still plenty left with 2.94 gears in the back, I was barely getting into the secondaries IIRC, definitely not flooring it for sure and it was "only" a 360 with about 320 HP. I'd argue the front end on those cars are even less aerodynamic than a Cuda like yours, it's totally flat and the top of the grille is canted forward slightly with nothing below the front bumper like a valance panel (is that what it's called?).

This Spring/Summer I want to see about getting my Duster into 1/2-mile racing (and road racing) so I'll be trying to improve the aero for sure. And this time around it'll be a hotter 360 with closer to 450 HP.
