I agree. My Teater Automotive out of Elgin Illinois built 1969 Rat Roaster intake, Nascar 12 quart oil pan, 727 automatic, heavily modified Hemi Road Runner ran 11:57 @ 121 Mph on slicks consistently back in 1974 at Union Grove Dragaway. I think I read Jimmie Addison's
Silver Bullet ran in the mid 10's back in the day (late 1960's - the early 1970's). Bill
