Yea, I know, I lay awake every night worrying about wether the rubber on my 1/4's will take a few bucks off the resale price In my opinion, running it down the track adds value, it proves that the car can stay together - and run the number

I didn't think that your name, your Deuce and "resale value" were allowed to be used in the same sentence?

When we did that "Killer COPO Shootout" for MRC, my Nova was doing a 2.3 60 foot, and still managed a 13.53 Howz that theory now????? Keep that sexy exhaust on for shows and put on a real exhaust for racing. There exhaust is second to none for shows, but you got a race car now boy!

What, a 2.3? That blows that theory!

I'm running a Mallory unilite breakerless ignition, and I have approx. 38 total degrees all in by about 2500rpm. I have the stock 4.10 rear gears - and the complete Gardner exhaust system, including the resonators.

You guys think that mandrel bent pipes with some Dynomax's are worth a 1/2 second?

Every time I hear about Yenko Deuce cars, I really do not conjure up the " Supercar " theme like the Camaros etc. 14's in the quarter does not scream Supercar. I know a lot of Muscle cars of the era ran similar times but were talkin " Supercar " right. Is it because of the LT1 or it's limited numbers that make it so?? I'm not trying to be a smartass here. Just that thses cars run like 340 Dusters etc. Hell I bought a GT mustang in 84 and with a few tweaks ( no410 gears ) ran 13.7. Educate me on these cars and why they are considerd in the " Supercar " family
