Ahhh.... To be young and dumb again. I was one of those dreamers when I was young. Throw a big cam in that stock engine and run low 12's, that is what I used to think until..... The day I took my 68 Charger R/T to the track. I thought with that big old 440 with a cam, headers and a few other goodies, it would surely run in the low 12's. It was my first time ever at a 1/4 mile track and I was bragging to all my buddies.
To my horror the car could only do high 13's an I ate a lot of crow. There are so many factors in drag racing and just throwing a big cam or in this case a super charger isn't going to get you in the 11's. I would just rack this up as a young kid not knowing what he is talking about and then if the super charger would ever go on (I doubt it), then yo can laugh your guts out.

BTW, I do race all the time and have learned from my mistakes over the years. Older and wiser......

Me and my car
