3.4 Pulley! 
I hear ya man, I know it can go a few tenths faster, just want(ed) to see what the ol D1 set up was really capable of...when pushing it like I was with the 3.4 but lacked the air and track conditions.
Just to see what it could have done, **** just to see the ol set up helping out with awesome times like that still has me in awe.
Did you think it'd get to the nines this easy when bolting it together?
Great runs Kev

Yea I knew it would get in the 9s, just didnt expect to do it at the end of July around here. My goal was 10.0x so I figured it would hit a 9.9x sooner or later I may try the 3.4 and a 3.50 gear in the fall - then again you may see the car on eBay soon LOL.

I have built enough engines over the years, some even double the displacement of this one I have a block and crank, decent rods, nice pistons and all the stuff for converting to 99+ heads laying here just in case. Would actually be cheap to put a better motor in it bu may as well use this one up 
It uses no oil at all and runs decent, why fix what aint broke..

I was the small guy that came over with Darryl (Dustin Butts) to look at your car. My buddy was there with my camera and got your 9.90 pass on video. It's a 8mm camera and I have no idea how to post it up or I would.

Cool seeing you guys, Darryl's car looked pretty nice with the new wheels.

I will be at the North vs South Shootout next sat though, and would be happy to copy it to a normal VHS tape to give you. The quality of course won't be as good, but it's better than nothing. PM me and we can arrange meeting up sometime that day.
