I would not believe everything you read.
The 450 hp engine that went 9.85 just does not add up.
To run down that far into the 9's you will need more hp than this.
ok, how about running in the low 12's, getting 350 hp out of a motor, stock rods and crank, only Forged pistions. running 12 PSI. it is O ringed, and runs a copper head gasket, that is Will and Kelly's '63 Falcon, Turbocharged 250, it is a drag car, look up Will and Kelly's Falcon in google, you will find a Mustangs and Ford article on Kelly and the car. The car that went 9.85 was a gutted out car, for drag purposes only, probably a lot lighter than a '66 Mustang normally is. here are the pics of the 9.85 drag car
