Helped a friend run 10's!

Well, it was a thrash but I built two engines for my friend, one 400 for his Duster that I sold him, and one 440 that had some problems.
The 440 was for his 1969 Roadrunner and this is the 3rd time I rebuilt it.
He first bought it used and in pieces, i put it together for him and he ran 12.5's with old worn parts.
Last year before the season he wanted to go faster so I rebuilt it and honed it myself as well as traded some ported heads. It ran 11.5's and he was happy for a season, but this year he wanted more so I installed a bigger cam, rehoned it and installed Total seal gapless rings and a different intake and a 1050cfm Dominator carb, and the first weekend out at the "Mopars at the Strip" event it went 10.91 @ 122.6!
I'm pretty stoked so I hope you guys don't mind me telling another story that has nothing to do with Titans, I'm just blabbing to everyone about it!

Well, alrighty then, I don't understand the flip off though, thanks for the congrats though. You do know that there are some old drag racers that hang out here too. I just like talking to other gearheads.

I appreciate it! 605 Hemi! Dang!
I bought a wedge 526" stroker kit while I was out there Sunday.
I have some Indy heads to top it off, the Computer Dyno says ~850hp.
