Dang, the drag racing competition is going to be a lot stiffer this year! Looks like there are some heavy hitters in this pack.

John that's a great picture of the dragracing! There are some heavy hitters there, but you never know who will actually signed up for the dragracing.

By the way, what kind of quarter-mile times do you get with your barracuda?

And did you get your mud and snow tires mounted, LOL

I have not run it on a timed track, but the Hellcat was consistently hitting the mid 12's the week before in Vegas on stock tires.

The convertible pulls a bit harder now, as I changed the restrictive air filter set-up I had on it to a higher flow, cold-air induction. It made a definite seat-of-the-pants improvement from mid-range up.

Pics = New air filter and old air hat & filter(that reportedly only flowed just over 400 CFM)

Answerme this.... If your heads flow 250 CFM, the how is a 400 cfm air cleaner holding you back?

I never had the heads flowed, but that flow number is for each intake port. Intake manifolds typically reduce the port flow in the heads too unless they are modified or very efficient.

My '70 RB heads flow 345cfm, but the intake nocks that down a bit.
