Bret, I didn't see that run.

His run today was faster than a majority of the Super Stock cars at the same race. Seems crazy for a Stocker to be this fast.

I think it can but Andy and I do not know first hand - YET

We will be in "protect" mode - as it is referred to on here - when we debut at the Las Vegas National - I call that smart class racing

I want to extend a big thanks to Jeff Teuton and the gang for stepping up and slowng down that beast.

Looks like the weight and throttle adjustment worked

LOL

:-) peace

The prototype V-10 Challenger went 9.50's in AA/SA legal trim in testing so I have to believe 9.20's should not be an issue!

When I said that these cars could run in the 8's fairly easily, most everybody looked at me with the stink eye. How much are they opening the throttle to achieve 9.30's? 65%?

Really?!

Anthonys car is way faster than most people think......It a BAD AZZ car.

I hate to admit it, but I was wrong. These cars will run in the eights even with weight they earn along the way. Ford is just teasing these guys with the computer programs. I hope the race to the eights is quicker than the race to the nines. Come on guys.......turn those things loose. I want to see a heads up between a CJ and a Mopar with the V10. Who has the biggest one???????

Below is my post from just over two years ago.

I can assure you all that my 427/425 with 401 heads made 596 peak horsepower on a DTS dyno. I ran it as light as I could because IHRA's AA/S class is a 7# class. At a test session in Darlington, SC, December 10, 2007, @ 3230 pounds (200# light for NHRA AA/S) I ran 9.520 @ 138.30. 60'(1.279) 330(3.820) 660(5.998@113.61) no 1000' time....9.520@138.30. The air density was 420'. It was full of oil, so it MIGHT have gone high forties. My point is the CJ's have already gone 143(was told it was the car John won the Winters with. CONGRATS to John and his crew!) YOU WILL SEE THESE CARS IN THE 9.20 RANGE WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE.

As I said in a previous post, NHRA had factory advertised hp to rate cars, which they did not have with the CJ's. They had to take someone's word for 425. Whoever accepted that number needs their head examined. If anyone with a conventional stocker thinks they can compete with this package, I suggest you save your time and money....just my opinion.
