Jimmy Larocca has been filling me in from E town all day Mds370 (Marlon) went 10.69 @ 132 so a new best ET for him on 20's ...Jimmy said he will be piloting it shortly though.
Fastest 20inch wheel and street tire Shelby?

Sub 10.30 pass in 3-2-1....
Didn't you correct me and say that they went 10.17 already in the car?
Well, get some tires - and get busy!
That's all i need! For now she's a show-er not a go-er!

Not following bud. This is not Brandons car...hes not there today.
Are you referring to this shop? http://krazyhousecustoms.com/
Didn't know Larocca was tuning again, except for his buddies or personal use. If he does anything for the public, I would definitely drive to NJ -again- to have him tune another one of my cars.
I hope you do make it sooner rather than later. Cecil County in Rising Sun Md is known for being a good track at near sea level.
Looking forward to hearing what all you've done to the car and how it performs for you.

I just got back from a track rental and went 10.69@133 with the addition of a UPR offroad x-pipe. The 80+ degree temps didn't help.

Nice job Marlon, I'm sure that will turn sub-50s in better weather!

I am wanting to run 9's on 20" drag radials as well, but I'm not sure it can be done without a built motor. Looking back at BIRDOC's car. He ran 9.7-9.8's with slicks and 811 RWHP. (Not even factoring in his weight reduction efforts) I would think it's going to take a minimum of 860-875 RWHP to get there on a radial on a full weight car. (Stock wheels, brakes, interior, etc)
I guess we will see. I am putting everything in place to try to do it this fall.

True but I think with good tuning you can do it without a built bottom end, although yes, it will be on borrowed time at that level.
I'm really thinking the clutch will be my Achilles heel. I'm going to push it as far as possible and see what happens.
Next step for me is cams and rods over winter, clutch will go in then.

Define minimal?
Yes, the clutch is the last piece of the puzzle for me as well. I believe I have everything else I need. I even have a spare 5.8 Aluminum Block in case I put custom oil vents in mine.
Like, not gutting the car.
So, minimal weight removed would be like basically having a stock car, but removing trunk materials, possibly seats, etc.
Kinda like, track bashing to get best ET's type of deal.
Gotcha, Thats the same thought that I have. The car is too nice to rip everything out of it.
9.99 is definitely possible without a built motor, the Krazy house car now is knocking on the door now for a 9.99 . I am pretty sure you will see a 9.99 out of that car on the 20 real soon.
10.17 at 142 at full weight with a 1.67 sixty foot(stock motor etc, still has the electric shocks in the car too). . The car has gone 1.58 sixty best . I would be very surprised if they don't do it.
