Im sure it doesnt matter as much if it is under a closed hood but can anybody comment on this, if it is just an old wives tale or if there is something behind it?
I agree that black and chrome look awsome but it wouldnt be so cool if you loose ET because of it...
I don't know about that wise Tale could be true i do not know..but as of now its pretty fast for a 3,004 lb true street car with 511ci, stock 2 bolt block...this run was a 5.99 et @114 mph with a 1.32 60 ft...and i drive to the burger joint......will run 5.70's with my Alochol carb on it....
