Guess what? Roadster was done, ran a 12 in the quarter. Did not break the 11's I was shooting for. Too fast for a roadster without a roll cage, so NHRA would not let me race the car. So, retired the roadster, bought a coupe. Started all over again, but, and the big *** but here was, guys like Rudy, Anthony, Jim, MoparRbust, Daith, and some I am missing were experimenting. I watched and learned from them on how far to mod my coupe without taking away the ability to drive it long distance to car meets and such, and still break the 11 second barrier. The roadster did receive modified manifolds and a new tune out of the build of the coupe. I am positive both cars will run the 11's. Hopefully the coupe will be at least .3 faster. You have to watch and learn on here, as everyone has an opinion on the route to take. I took the fast but safe route with the roadster. I took the fast but monitoring to be safe route with the coupe. There are some dedicated racers on here that will beat me heads up. No doubt about it, but I know I can stay with just about anything marketed today under a 100K. That was what I wanted to accomplish. So don't be shy to ask questions. But don't beat the dead dog either. Be specific and you will get the answers you need. Good luck man...we want you to be successful.
