Here's Mike talking about his first pass at shakedown at e-town...his car has only 5 or so passes on the new suspension and turbo set up before going to the shakedown...funny part is for this pass, Scott took power out of it and he still hauled ***! 166 mph...8.35's....not bad for a little 382 cid small block.

I dunno; I have a friend who just sold his '69 Camaro A/SA NHRA car that ran consistent 1.31 60 foot times on a lot less HP than this Duster runs, and on 9" tires to boot. I think his engine (a normally-aspirated 425 HP 427) made about a maximum of about 620 HP at the flywheel on an engine dyno.

You can check it out on Dave Kommel's photo site (Auto Imagery.com) under the name "Bobby Roper." If that Duster's not using time, spooling the turbo, then why the relatively slow 60-foot times? (1.37?)
