All I got to do was sit in it. I did get to ride in his drag partners car that he built the motor for. Even just idling down the strip you can feel it. When he gave it some gas I was flattened.

It's a 426 Hemi that runs on alcohol. I couldn't tell you anything else about the car because he really doesn't tell you a whole lot. I think it has a 4 speed automatic racing tranny and runs on huge slick tires. He does know how to put together a Dodge motor though that can put down some power.

He built a dirt track motor for my racing partner and that thing is unreal. He fabricated a big block intake to fit on his 360 small block, tweaked the carb and no one knows how and "modified" a few other things to give him tons of torque. No one knows what he did and they're afraid to protest the motor because they aren't sure if it's legal or not.
