Is it fast and hook up? I am building a 1956 chevy with 723hp with ford 9" and four bar.

Very fast and can hookup if you are good on the throttle. Wide open is a waste of time until you are above 60 mph! My wive loves to do block long burn outs.

Very fast and hooks up pretty well if you are good with the throttle. Wide open is a waste of time below 60mph!

It's sitting on a S-10 frame with "EXTREME" ZQ8 factory lowered suspension, front and rear sway bars and quick ratio steering box. I'm running a 350 crate motor with a 700R4 transmission and Camaro rear with 3:42 gears and 15x8 Corvette rallys. Body mods include; top chopped 1-1/2", wing windows removed and converted to 1 piece glass, front bumper bolts were shaved, and the dash, firewall and rear roll pan were smoothed. It also has the stock 20 gallon S-10 fuel tank, power windows and tilt wheel. I plan on driving the wheels off it this summer and finsh the interior, install bed wood, etc. over the winter months.

Very nice piece.
