My memory doesn't go back that far
This was in 2003

Dyno results: 589.1 CB Torque @ 4400 rpms and 580 CB Power @ 5800 rpm

Quarter mile: Running 8" converter and 90/10 shocks on the front and no sway bar in place: 1.60 60" times, 10.88 ET at 124.28 mph

The rear tires were M/T ET Drag 28/10.5-15W at the track

At the time I had fiberglass race seats installed with the fiberglass nosepiece to save weight. On one time slip I wrote down about 3710 lb race weight.
I have no record of launch rpm or tire pressure handy, sorry.

I used a 10-inch Continental torque converter for the street

Correction: That wasn't the converter done by Marv Ripes at A-1
It was a custom Huges 8-inch converter.

And I found a 10.94 at 123.59 and 1.59 60-ft with the 10-inch Continental.
