i done a 14.1 @ classic ford last year ( to hot, and charge temps of 55 oc ), good launch but blew 2 sets of plugs as soon as it came on boost, would not go over 4k !!!!

so stuck it back on the truck and went home

going back this year though to see what the car and I can do !!!

Bryan, I'm sure you will get one easy this year!

Maybe I'm been a bit ambitious, just geting my car to a 1/4 mile day would be nice
