Good job Ron! Man I wish I could get my pig to 60ft like yours....still in the 1.90 range. What gears are you running? Our MPH is exactly the same.....


Doug, the gears are 4.10's with a 295/65 MT Drag Radial. It really needs more stall and gear to ET better but that's all academic because the engine will be pulled later this fall in preperation for the new 572 Wedge. The 4.10's a 295 MT's will be ideal for that combination.  :yesnod:

Come up to NED on oct 31st for the Mopar day.....maybe we can line them up !  :icon_smile_big:

Dang, you're flat gettin' with the program.  Impressive.
I think it's pretty safe to say, knowing you, it was to be expected.  :2thumbs:  Way to represent fellas.

Pretty depressing, your 60'er is almost a full second quicker than mine.  :blush2:

Yep.....boost is a beautiful thing but two can play that game.  :icon_smile_big:  If someone swaps pullies the Pig might just get a small plate and some laughing gas.  :lol:

Should be fun next year !    :coolgleamA:

Ron,

Are your 60' times on DOT tires?

You got something other than Cal-Tracs under there?

Nice runs, I hope mine gets within a half-second of that.

He's running M/T drag radials and Super Stock springs with a full interior, (including all heater crap) and a cage AND full exhaust. At 4100 pounds he's eating up the track.... 

Did I mention this monster is contained under an uncut full steel hood?? ??

My excuse of my car being heavy don't hold any water compared to the Black Pig.

Ya that's why I'm paying attention, not only to his engine threads but his particular car...it's pretty close to what mine will be. Full interior, A/C, P/S, power windows...440 +.030. I don't have aluminum heads though, I can expect to be a little heavier and a little less motor. Those 60' times are tasty though, and I got a heavy flywheel, 4 speed and 4:10 D60. If I can 60' like that the 1/4 mile times will be a little less important...

New Port Richie...where is that? I'm in Jensen Beach, north of Stuart.
