All of the above comments are valid and I would like to add : a lot of these so called "rods","pro-street","pro-modified" ,"rat rods" ar just plain UNSAFE . I wouldn't get within 100 feet of them . Engines in cockeyed , grape tig welds , and the biggest f-up, batteries in the trunk with 1/4" j-bolts . Get me away from these people

That's why I have mine inspected every few years by the region NHRA inspector. It's certified to 8.49 or slower. The inspector is sharp and spends a lot of time on it. He has gigged me a couple of times and he brought things to my attention. I make the updates immediately and bring it back to him., Safety is first.....
