I'm not new to drag racing. I've been racing cars since back in the late  
50's. (Yeah, I'm old.) I've raced a 57 Chevy, a 62 Dodge, a factory Hemi Dodge  
Super Stocker, a 64 Plymouth 383 4-speed, and a 72 Vega wagon w/a big block  
that went 9:90's and low 10's. So, I'm not new to the track.
I may be optimistic about my car running high 10's but I'm hoping.
I figure with 493 cubes, aluminum heads, (worker over a bit), brainless  727, 
a 4:10 gear and the Mickey Thompson ET slicks, I may be close.
And I do have the frames tied with 2x2 tubing. I plan on doing some street  
tuning before I take her to the strip, so I'll have most of the bugs worked out 
 as far as jetting, shift points etc. 
As I said once before, I pulled a few hole shots last fall and the car  
pulled so hard going through 1st and 2nd that it made me light headed. Kinda  like 
my old Vega used to do.
If I only run low 11's I guess I'll have to be happy.
The only thing that I took out of the car to lighten it was the heater box  
so everything else is stock weight. I have no idea what the car weighs but I 
may  take it to a local freight place and have it weighed.
