Talking Caprice goes 11.5
Well after years of beating on junkyard motors putting 30K or so on with too much power and losing one shortblock I decided to refresh one for reliability. I fairly routinely race at Great Lakes Dragaway 150miles from home. Don't know what the tow bill would be from there but I know I would rather spend the money on parts for the car than just getting it home.
I upgraded to the latest 200cc package from Advanced Induction while I was at it.

Thats moving! Congrats! Its nice to see some videos of an AI car. Thats one hell of a 60ft time, are you still running the 3400 edge?

I had goals to beat your 11.9 with my Hotcam only setup with a full weight car. I only touched 12.2s.

Damn straight! I got competition! I love it!
Too bad our friend out East.....Da Stump..is no longer flying the LE/BRE B-body flag.......we'd have a VERY healthy rivalry again!

Nice runs, Dwayne. I'm guessing this was its maiden voyage....???
I'm sure there's more left!
