Thanks for asking.
The only one I have had on the dyno, is the 66 Cuda. 358 ft/lbs torque, and 214 hp at the wheels. Street/strip, weight is 3250lbs, 170 cubes, lower 13's at 98 mph 1/4 mile.
66 Valiant was built on a $1500 budget, including car purchase, and runs mid 13's. with a new windshield and a couple of other upgrades, now about $2,000 in it. I think it will break into the 12's next time out. I have only run one stage of nitrous so far.
Built the 65 Valiant in 1979. It is being refurbished, and hopefully, will be back running in 2011. As a street/strip car has run 13.4's at 104 mph.
