Same car at Atco yesterday ran 9.18 at 149mph.
Was on a possible 8 sec run (1.29 60, 5.7 1/8th) when a pulley broke.

Way I read it they swapped the pulley after the stock one broke after the 9.1 pass. Maybe I’m bias but even if a pulley swap, to have an otherwise stock production car with some weight reduction, race gas, a tune, and some drag radials to be knocking on 8 second territory I find incredible. FYI only 2 demons faster...one is a TT setup with a carbon body. Ran 8.77. Other has upper and lower, headers, id 1700’s and bap, along with a 75hp shot. Ran 9.10. No Demon has a a 60’ in the 1.2x’s.

Here is my thing. Everybody is different and everybody likes different things. That is cool with me. What I can't wrap my head around is buying a car for ~$75k, putting another ~$4-5k of mods into it and stripping out the interior...just to go fast for 1,320'. Heck, for that price, you could build an 8 second Vega and have a few fistfuls of money left over. Again, if that is your thing, by all means, enjoy! I'd much rather have an 11 second car that can carve corners like a scalpel and also retain it's full interior. I suppose that is why everyone is different.

The pulley swap is where that added power/time change came from. It's still very much one helluva run...

Not sure about in the US but 60k-70k in Canada does not build a 8 sec car |

think it's dyno numbers were 780hp and 750t on the engine with 400 shot progressive Nos
it runs a 10:50 on the engine at 154 mph, it uses a 425 Olds block that I had sitting around 140 thou overbore to take a 454 aries piston with mopar 440 conrod and custom fabricated crank. It is a monster at the track and very hard to control on a 28" tire. The engine needs a bigger tire and tub as the torque is to much for a stock G-Body. He had to run a 1/2" alum plate to hold the engine to the frame as it would break the mounts and chain that he had before. |

And neither the vega nor the mustang would allow you to enjoy vented seats while going down the strip at 8.xx seconds I wouldn't say "stripped" interior. Yes they took the seats out (like how most of the Demons run at the strip) but I've seen a lot "worse" to get a time (removing dash, center consoles, drilling holes in the body, etc). You could put the 123lbs of seats back in and what's it run? 9.1-9.2? Personally I am not into the "corner" thing. Just brutal straight line acceleration for me. But I hate how everyone throws the HC under the bus thinking it's only a straight line car. The widebody versions handle really well too. To the extent of a Vet or a 1LE...no but still not too shabby. Now the regular body one...... Quote:
I think it has the potential to be a consistent high 8 sec car considering what they are leaving on the table now (suspension, still has cats, stock driveshaft, not on a 15" tire).
