You make a good point Ramcharger. Haplo's car is light and can take more stress this way. I was going to do the same about a co-worker. He runs a rail with a S/B 355 chevy engine. He also runs the 8.90 index I think it was. He told me the best thing about this was he didn't need to make a ton of power or turn crazy RPM's to achieve this goal. I loved the storys and his take on his end on things.
Haplo, I'm not trying to diminish your car/engine/achevements/yourself in anyway. Hoping not to step on your toes about this, but if the same engine is in a 3400 lbs. car, do you think it would last for 6 years?
BTW: That sounds like a bitchin' build you got there. Care to share?
