I'm looking at this:

Initial acceleration, the charge a racecar makes off the starting line and through those sixty-foot timers doesn't require a ton of power to be quick. Contemporary 500” Pro Stocks will consistently go between .997 and 1.00 or so, and they have nowhere near the power of a Pro Mod blower car that will short .02-.03 slower. The blown Pro Mod has to do two things the Pro Stocker does not: move an additional 350 lbs. and deal with a power band that builds steam as the car moves out. The Pro Stocker uses mechanical leverage (gear ratio) and a manageable and relatively flat power curve to move its lighter mass forward very quickly. This allows the crew chief to manage that "thrust' in a way that will repeat and stay hooked, run after run.

1.5sec 60 foot time isn't that great for cars that run at the speeds you claim. Either the AWD isn't hooking up or someone is napping at the Christmas tree.

We don't know the weight yet. We don't know the sanctioning body. Would they tolerate this difusser:



Or this one?
