How many 9 second 396/375 alum head A/S A/SA
 
Hey guys just curious who all has done this since its 400 hp stick and 405 hp auto alum head in a 396. I sold my ls car and bought my dads 67 camaro back. And tearing into now over the winter and would like to go 9.99 someday:), and I am gonna run the 396 alum head combo in A/S. I know its a tall order to go into the 9's with this combo! Everyone has to have there own goals in life and thats one of mine :)

Its winter time just thought it would be cool to see how many have done this and what the air was and so on. Plus excited to get this thing done for next year and have some fun!!!

I believe Paul Mercure did it at Montgomery Alabama several years ago at the NHRA Div 2 Open. I believe the third or so 9 second Stocker ever.

If anyone could do it he would be the one for sure! I'll need a 50mph tailwind and -3000 ft da lol. I've never actually seen one in person do it. I've seen some 10.teens in bad air and I know they could if the air was right!

This appears to be an older video.

The Aluminum Head 396 was not available in '67, so it would not be legal.
The first year for this option was 1968.

yes I saw Paul run in the 9.90s at pomona, and Jimmy DeFrank went 9.72? or 9.73 .. against John Shaul at the last pass of the last race of the year (world finals pomona) about 5? years ago-believe it was an all out heads up race
