    I am aware of the general 100lb rule for drag racing and I realize we have been throwing 1/4 mile times. The reality of my car or truck wants aren’t 1 trick pony’s. 1/4 mile times tell a great story but only 1 story. That is why I brought up creature comforts. Have you ever looked at Nuremberg...

    Oh yeah, fat pigs at 3900lbs. Thing is they would do things an old girl would not dream of. I’ve been done with old iron for a long time. I can have 20 speakers, a/c, 12 way power everything, run 10’s, 11’s, 12’s and drive across the continent then track it. Modern stuff is amazing!

    I own a 2023 Ram TRX. Stock, in good air it can do a 3.9 0-60. I haven’t modded it yet but plan to shortly. Larger blower, injectors, pulleys, fuel pump, cooler will put it into high 10’s easily. The best part is the short block, tranny, etc can handle it. That’s 10’s on stock 35 inch tires...

    Lathe I bought before I joined

    It did not come with a 4 jaw. Luckily it’s the same D-1 mount as my Standard Modern and I bought a 4 jaw for it so perfect fit.
