He should switch to a single carb for the race. I'm sure I'll get flamed by all the dual quad guys and gals now. 
What's the big secret? Are we keeping the specs from a) Tommy, b) Dan, c) the audience or d) all of the above?
I assume if KC built it, it's probably a 482 or maybe a 496 with a roller cam.

I know the previous owner and we drove our kirkhams to an event. It is a 482 unless there was a engine swap in the last 2 years. Darren

The engine and all components have not been changed / are the same as when Dan purchased the car. The engine is designated a Ford 427 authentic FE Alloy Shelby 510, with TKO 6000 Trans. The good luck for Dan, (as he had no idea of the build sheet) is he does not have an typical 427 or 482. Fun fact, the car 0 - 60 time was 3sec - and clocked 160+mph once and felt on the edge of air borne- I then sold the car.. KC built the motor and he is has agreed to be silent until after the race (if there is one). I will tell you from my in-depth study - he is the BEST and a first class gentlemen...
Either way, whether 500 - 600 or 700+hp he who fumbles or breaks will lose....
The better driver will prevail..

I am curious on the weight question since I also dont know how much my glass csx weighs if Kirkham and or shelby in my case has a posted weight on their rollers. I know the weight of my engine and tranny but not the roller itself and I am curious how my glass csx compares weight wise to the alloy kirkham.

My glass csx weighs 2600lbs with an old school iron block/heads 427FE in it, 2/3 tank of gas. Sorry if someone already answered this for you. I have been tardy for a few days and am still about 800 pages behind on this very entertaining thread......
