They don't call him "Big Dog" for nothing! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

For some reason I didn't get video of his F.A.S.T. record setting run (10.3 @ 1330, but below is a link a video I took of a 10.7x pass...on his 10.3x pass we were standing at the line, and he spun & the car wiggled, and I actually thought he was gonna lift, but he went ahead and drove it out, and it was a record run! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Sweet...I'd forgotten Bruno got it on tape!

mfchassis: have you decided whether you're going L72 or ZL1 yet?

Even considered an L89, but we are going to stick with a L72. The challenge of getting an iron headed car in the 10's is exciting.

Tell us more 'bout that '69 Camaro running 10.30's with the pump gas 468. That is on 'nuts' alone, right? What kinda cam, intake, etc? Car leaves pretty hard and moves out alright from that video

Its actually a soft tuneup on the motor because its a Nitrous car. It would run 5/6 tenths quicker. As for the engine you wouldn't believe me if I told you. It so simple. HAHA! It's many years refining the same combination. Alot of the car's success is the chassis tuning. It can take a fogger and a plate off the line with 28 12.5 ET streets.

Oh did I mention it is 3940lbs wet w driver.
