  • 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?
    They all look pretty much the same

      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.
