First ever 1/4 mile run
427 sbc ( Skip White )
I broke my dana 44 last month doing a hole shot with M/T street radials. I fixed the Dana and put Cooper street tires on her.
From a standing idle of 850 rpm I took off .. Had wheel spin . I hope clip shows up , but I included time slip .. I ran a Z06 with NOS . Squashed him like a bug LMAO . Imagine if I did a hole shot with proper tires .. I could have beat him to end and had a cig waiting on him Bahahahahahaha
I Am ordering a straight axle 4 link set up this winter.

Ridiculously impressive! Radials!!!!
Absolutely awesome. 122mph..thats a 10 second car with traction, but unfortunately, I guess we already know it will also be a broken car with traction. Either way, your 60 ft is insane for a non sticky tire.

Thanks , I was blown away only because I made the pass after all my friends shamed me into it .. I wanted to hold off until I had a good rear and tires.. I can say this , it shut everyone of them up
Here are the tires I ran

WOW!!!! Outside of the big tire, its clearly a radial. Super clean unassuming appearance otherwise. Nice work!

Great run! There's definitely more in it.. A little traction with 60' times in the 1.50's and you are in the 10's!! Congrats!!

Thanks you guys ! And it runs perfect as a daily driver I cant say enough about sequential multi-port injection what a difference that makes over a carb or a throttle body set up

VERY NICE!! I couldn't get the video to work but it looks great on the paper. Great job on the "weenie" tires.

I want to add this if I may
I used , HP/Weight calculators to come to buying decisions and mixed that with my need to make a daily driver.
I can idle all day in gear , I can cruse in LOCK up for ever on the express way and in town the car drives so normally there is never a time when gear selection or engine power are mismatched . Start her , instantly drop her in drive and go just like my newer GMC .
I drove to that track and drove home , 100 miles round trip and I stopped for ice cream As someone creeping up on 50 I know from experience a car this fast is usually a weekend warrior ..
Thanks to

Wow nice run ! I knew you would like that engine 
I ran 121mph but due to spinning tires past half track it was only a 13 sec flat time
