Ford 9 inch center, and it is a work of art really look nice how he has it welded under the car, each half shafts almost looks like a reg car drive shaft. I really didn't ask on the trans other than he build it in the shop.

But really if I was going to do much at all with my car on the track, This is what I would do without even thinking about it. Plus unless you get totally UNDER the car it don't look diff are you cant see the diff,s at all from the rear of the car... Robert

What a great build. I spoke to Rodney quite a bit this weekend about his car. I'd like to replicate it. It really is a work of art.

I was standing at the mph cones when he came by at 177... What a rush.

No words to describe but congrats....however for a almost 7 sec car and not a good camera work, there should be 2 cameras one from side and another at slightly at angle......just a suggestion though.

Congrats to the RPM crew.....

Was that a "pusher" run ??

Did the board ever make a decision on the frozen pusher deal ??

No pusher system allowed there.

I think the - 1,000,000,000 DA helped out a lot

It has one of our Powerglide/9" IRS combo's..... I need to do a full write up with pics to show it all off but I wanted to make sure it was track tested...

Actually the DA was only -800 at the time of our pass.... lol I said only. I have the best crew in the world, my guys are all dedicated to the team. I also owe a big thanks to Phil Hoefler.. AKA Roadrebel. If it wasn't for his tuning skills, none of this could of been possible. Phil has gone to every event, data logged EVERY pass and kept this car spot on. Thanks Phil.
I also owe a big shout out to Frank at The Driveshaft Shop... We love your product Frank.
This car will be back out next year for all the LSX Shootouts/NMCA series running Realstreet again, hoping to better our runner up spot in 2013.
I owe a big thanks also to Jay 4Drush for sharing common interests and being a friend to discuss our cars with anytime I need him.
