11.7 with my previous setup. Magnuson blower @8 lbs. of boost. (The one in the video... had about 480RWHP then)
Now running a built motor and a pro charger f1a at 14lbs. Only thing stock is the driveshaft lol. Should be low 10s but I haven't been on the track in a while.
Thanks,
John

I remember about 18 years ago when I built my 89 LX 5.0 I ran 12's and back then that was pretty fast but these days that's slow. lol. Seems like the norm any more is 12's and cars are dipping into the 10-11 second range all the time now.

Bit more work on the 426. Each motor I'm wiring a bit more. This one is wired to the coil as well as plugs. Baby steps. Also did a pin wash on this one so she's a bit dirty. Need another coat of white on the oil filter but getting there.
