Yeah it never hooked. I remember drag racing him at the strip before he put the bottle in. I looked in my rear view mirror just as i was crossing the line, and i could see the whole side of his truck, just going side to side with NO traction, i think he wound up running a 24 that time <not typical run, but i just can't seem to forget it> But it had the power!
