I'd think at 8500 he'd be breaking more than cams. I smell poo.

Is it a 170? If it was a 225, I think it would have a custom 3 piece crank!  Rick |

When a guy says one thing you KNOW is wrong (the 8500 rpm here) that puts EVERYTHING else in question. From that point on, you must question every statement. Beware. Sam |

Good advice from all. Don't believe anything you can check yourself in person with eyes and tools. Lou |

Maybe he cut the wrong wire on his tachometer?  You never know.Rick |

7.50 is still a dang fast 1/8th mile, and would be totally heroic in Mike's car... I know a certain racer who did use the wrong tach setting (8 cyl), and blew up 3 motors thinking he was revving to 5500 when he was actually hitting 7300.  Lou |
