My father still has that sickness, and even at his age went and built that 571 for the street. It'll easily click off some 10's when the car is dialed in. I have a chevelle that goes bottom 11's with a mild 454, and plans to drop a more rambunctious 502 in it to see if it will go 10's. But to be honest it's not high on the priority list and I'm certainly not doing it to compete with new cars. Quite frankly I enjoy driving the other classic cars just as much that only run 13's and 14's. They are just a pleasure to drive and that's what I'm in this hobby for.

More a passion than a sickness..I use a winter budget and a summer budget..This year I dropped 3 and half tenths for the cost of a new intake..pretty good investment at my power level.I had probably my best year ever tuning..every time except once at the track the car went faster!This winter the budget is quite a bit higher..new shortblock,rearend work and a few other changes.
