I wish it was from the front.
It's tempting to switch to a 4400stall,lighter wheels ect to run 9's easilly but the street manners are so good now.

In that pics it ran 10.60 at 121 with a 1.48 60' .Had 20lbs of air pressure and of course letting off at the end to qualify. Not bad for a new setup,first run and ran a 10.6 on a 10.5 bracket.

It's a C5R/427 with 235cc heads small 240 cam, 3600 stall and weighs a nice 3660lbs.Has a 10.0 -10.1 as it sit's. Does OK for a true daily driver that I wouldn't think twice about leaving today and driving to Florida or something.

I could use those for weight reduction but my 26/11.5 tires dead hooked pretty good with 20lbs of air.
