Yea but the it does not compute traction. Nobody has said it is impossible to make a 67-72 run any thing. IT is possible,if you throw enough money at it. The reason I keep bringing up the negative points is I want people to think long and hard before trying to do it. If you want to go drag racing, a 67-72 truck is not the vehicle to start with unless you are crazy. They are too heavy,all that weight is on the front,and they have no areodynamics. It is kinda like trying to teach a pro wrestler to be a ballerina,he could do it,but the skinny girl would always be better at it. The only reason to have a 67-72 chevy truck at a dragstrip is to pull the trailer that your drag car is on. LOL
