Finnegan and Freiburger go heads-up on the dragstrip in their eight-second project cars. After a road trip in the Blasphemi, the guys add a new supercharger and dyno tune the '55 Hemi-powered Chevy to over 1,000 hp, before seeing how its new tech holds up against Freiburger's old school, all-mechanical, big-block '31 Ford Model A.
