Looks like a stock 87 T-Type
But watch out as Joe Derry rips of a 9.85 ET at 137 MPH!
Then changes the rear tires and drives it home!

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the opportunity to be on your website, and also for the port work on my intake this winter. Along with the intake work and a 3” dual exhaust my car picked up a tenth and 1.5mph.
I enjoy my car on the street and race every chance I get. I put about 60 – 70 passes a season bracket racing and testing, driving it to and from the track posting low 10 sec. passes over 130mph.
In the last 2 months I have put over 2,000 miles on my car driving to the track 6 or 7 times, including Musclepalooza at Lebanon Valley Dragway. The last trip to New England Dragway on 9/21 I drove my car to the track and it ripped a 9.85 @ 134.95mph and drove home. I cant be any more pleased with the performance of my street car and the drivability. I couldn’t have the best of both worlds without your expertise and advise on my aluminum heads and stock intake.
Thanks Again,
Joe Derry
