Holy moly. That's fast. I worked for a time at a Dodge dealership in San Diego. Ralph Pearson, the old sand dragger, was a servicewriter there. His son, Ralph, Jr., had a 1967 Belvedere with an aluminum block 440, dual Holly 4-barrel double pumpers with nitrous. It was a door slammer but it was all decked out with wheel tubs, fuel cell and a parachute. He used to run the car at Carlsbad all the time. That car never ran a 10 flat.
