If I took it on Drag Week I would have to be in the same class as a certain Cammer powered Shelby.
The engine going into the Road Runner is the 499 out of my GTX. It's 400 block with aluminum main caps, and a tall fill. The 4.150 stroke crank is from Eagle as are the 440 length rods. Flat top Ross pistons and a custom ground flat tapper cam round out the short block. Heads at INDY SR's opened up to Max Wedge port size. Compression is 13:1. INDY rockers and intake. It has a Holley 1050 Dominator and Hooker 2" Super Comp headers. This combo made 732hp and 635trq.
The transmission is a Jerico DR4. Clutch is a McLeod SoftLok reworked by Tim Hyatt.
This combo ran 9.85@137mph in St.Louis in my GTX @ 3430lbs. The Road Runner should be 3100lbs or less. It will not be a gutted she'll. I have factory door panels, carpet, headliner, and the stock dash is going back in. A few of HEMI Joel's top secret F.A.S.T. Tricks will go into the build. I can't stand gutted cars, so this will not be my first.
