If you read National Dragster, this is interesting S/SS!

I also have one that came with the DP new, and the block is a 2007 Block, as are all the (3) 360 DP motors. What am I missing here? I am actually quite proud of my old piece. The heads have been replaced, the manifold (which Wilson made for me in 2005) has EFI bungs added (it is SS after all), and all the other stuff. But we have run the motor for 12 years, and in Top Stock configuration it ran a best of 9.52 @ 138 mph in my Duster. The Duster also ran the motor for a few years in GT/FA. I think it ran a best of 9.80's in that configuration. Last year we noticed that it was leaking oil out of both headers, so we gave it a set of pistons for the first time in 8 years. Anything else?

If you ran a 9.52 in ANYTHING stock , I'd love to see those incredibly "liberal" IHRA rules.
