A perfect match!

I'm able to get a 275 60 r15 under there now. I think I might be able to get at 305 or 315. I'm hoping the lighter weight will help also. I'm going to use an AAR fiberglass Hood with the superstock scoop on it. Like the ones the super stock cars came with.

It's not a pump gas motor, race gas it has 14:1 compression.....

I'm running Nitto Drag Radials on my '68. Once warm, they hook up hard, but that's will only 510hp. I run them year round out here, but they are not recommended for freezing temps as they may suddenly fail. Best tires I ever had out back.

I have a set of slapper bars on there that made a huge improvement in how hard it launches. I painted them satin black to hide them. You know, because they don't work on Mopars, SMH.

I was running 12.25 to 1 compression in my 493" RB motor for the last 7 years. Even with a local 24/7 gas station that had 101 octane unleaded at the pump, it got old not being able to get fuel out on the road anywhere else. It just meant I didn't get to enjoy my hard earned hotrod as much. That's going to change as a result of some valvetrain instability issues I had that warranted a tear down. I just got my new 10.25 to 1 reverse dome pistons yesterday afternoon. Looking forward to putting more mile on the car soon.
