It't doesn't have garish sponser stickers covering every square inch); Quickest Street Viper (Heffner's Performance built this twin-turbo Viper that runs mid-8s at 155mph with a stock six-speed, IRS and air conditioning.

Bill Wiemann did, several times, and has the somewhat dubious honor of owning and selling the most valuable musclecars in history.)

It also got wheels and tires. You could end up owning it.), Portable Dragstrip (We put Telsa Electronic's affordable little G-Tech RR gizmo to the test and it is surprisingly accurate. It'll never replace the dragstrip, but is't better than driving two hours to inhale dust in Palmdale.), Carb Thingy (Aeromotive's new sensor ducks into the carburetor float bowl and reads how much fuel is present, which makes a big difference in the air/fuel ratio.

Also check out the interesting information gained by running three intake manifolds across this engine.), 427 Ford Small-Block (We've heard it said that "FE" stands for "Finally Extinct". While there is no shortage of folks who would argue against that, it's hard to deal with a big, heavy engine when you compare it to this lithe, small-block of the same displacement. Watch for it in our Factory Five Cobra kit in the next few issues.) Feature Stories - White Lightning (Many of the early NASCAR stars were just Carolina moonshine runners with nothing to do on the weekends.
