Re: Now I can say I have a 12 second truck.

Guys I'm so sorry. I was completely farting around last night. I have been battling the flu pretty bad and I think that was the NyQuil talking. That was a Pro Mod slip I found online. I have never and will never own anything that will pull 7's at 182.

My Birth Certificate has my legal name as Ima Wee Todd.

When you look at power curves on dyno runs, when that curve tanks....she tanks fast. Imagine running an NFL drill where they have the rope tighed around the guy while he is sprinting. Now just imagine one little tug. Not only do you slow down, but it takes even more effort to get back to where you were. I can see 200-400 rpms in that fall off part really affecting a thenth or two and you are the proof.

What's impressive to me is that these days, a 396/402 shouldn't even be called a big block. Not when you have 496, 505, 572 etc. Pretty darn cool right there.
