Aug. 2, 2013 – Scott Main, founder of Cam Research put the new Boss 429 to the test Friday night, posting a time-trial best time of 10.33 @ 131.75 mph and advancing to the finals at Club Clash hosted by Bandimere Speedway (elev. 5800′ above sea level).
Friday marked the first time the Boss powered ’67 Fastback hit the track this year, following some impressive pulls on the shop dyno.
“We had some great dyno pulls right from the get-go,” Scott said. “After a few runs and a little tuning, it scored 843 horsepower and foot pounds of torque, so we were definitely expecting a very low 10 second car when we got to the track.”
Gobs of power from the hemi head Boss and consistent driving spelled trouble for Club Clash competitors as, Scott sped through four rounds before the evening came to an end in the finals.
Check out the video of another great evening at the drag strip and stay tuned for more great videos as we put the Boss through its paces this summer.
