  • Finnegan and Freiburger go heads-up on the dragstrip in their eight-second project cars. After a road trip in the Blasphemi, the guys add a new supercharger and dyno tune the '55 Hemi-powered Chevy to over 1,000 hp, before seeing how its new tech holds up against Freiburger's old school, all-mechanical, big-block '31 Ford Model A.

    If the f rod was yellow this would have been right out of American grafitti.
    Edit: oh my god yes I know the American graffiti car was a '32, 5 window which is different from the f-rod but who cares?

      any doubters can check the National record holders in AHRA, and nhra....I don't think the Moutain motor governing body that invented Pro Mod had as many class racers(IHRA)
      If they did I never payed attention as the fact they always did everything nhra was too scared to do was what caught my attention.

    If you want to drag race 1100 hp with any consistency at all, you need an automatic transmission. Less parts breakage also

      No way thats going to happen, Finnegan built it to be a proper old style (looking) drag car with a manual he said that in the beginning and even Freiburger has said it would be nothing without a stick.

    I want to begin drag racing, so I have enrolled in an I.T. program at my community college.
