The choice is yours on how bad you want to embarass the driver of the truck! I didn't even mention the facts surrounding what a 330HP SBC has to do to pull/push a 4500lb truck down the track. If he could get low 15's in the 1/4 I'd be surprised. JD

Good luck to the new owner of the Ventura II! Sold the car after 13+ years. Look for it on the Hot Rod Power Tour in the future as it's currently being re-configured as a Pro-Touring ride!
