I hate to admit it, but I was wrong. These cars will run in the eights even with weight they earn along the way. Ford is just teasing these guys with the computer programs. I hope the race to the eights is quicker than the race to the nines. Come on guys.......turn those things loose. I want to see a heads up between a CJ and a Mopar with the V10. Who has the biggest one???????

Below is my post from just over two years ago.

I can assure you all that my 427/425 with 401 heads made 596 peak horsepower on a DTS dyno. I ran it as light as I could because IHRA's AA/S class is a 7# class. At a test session in Darlington, SC, December 10, 2007, @ 3230 pounds (200# light for NHRA AA/S) I ran 9.520 @ 138.30. 60'(1.279) 330(3.820) 660(5.998@113.61) no 1000' time....9.520@138.30. The air density was 420'. It was full of oil, so it MIGHT have gone high forties. My point is the CJ's have already gone 143(was told it was the car John won the Winters with. CONGRATS to John and his crew!) YOU WILL SEE THESE CARS IN THE 9.20 RANGE WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE.

As I said in a previous post, NHRA had factory advertised hp to rate cars, which they did not have with the CJ's. They had to take someone's word for 425. Whoever accepted that number needs their head examined. If anyone with a conventional stocker thinks they can compete with this package, I suggest you save your time and money....just my opinion.
