Wow, i did some calculations and that 8.01 is equilavant to a 12.50 quarter. Heck this engine should go 12.80 in Vegas ,how much more hp do you estimate the new one to be, with an extra 40 hp you will be pushing 11,s. at sea level or good air.We are finally getting several west coast cars to fly. I am hoping my junk will go 13,s. |

At 12.80... I win beer.  At 12.50... Mark wins beer. (and I help him drink it! )   That is why he is swapping-in the new motor... to win a beer bet.  DD |

Mark That motor is just getting broke in and finding a groove. When you pull it just dont REUSE anything... have it ready to drop back in, in its entireaty. Frank |
