Letters From The Field! (w/time slip)

Well guys, we're back from Tulsa. The Mid-America Meet was great.

Ol' #42 was in rare form. It's timing was off and caused us to run warm all weekend. Now I get to install a timing pointer and tune it up this week. I'm sure we were down 30-40 ponys.

Hallet Motor Racing Circuit was fun and the stock T/A's gave us some pretty good laps in the low 1:31 range. It was a touring show so we couldn't really ring em' out.

Tulsa Raceway Park was where we had the most fun of the weekend. #42 made it's first venture down the strip and did it respectably. We made it to the finals and took 2nd to a big block with slicks and all the other goodies... No shame in getting beat at the tree when your R/T is .172.

The 13.155 isn't bad, but we're going to make more passes after it's tuned up. Then we'll change from the T/As to slicks and see what happens.

Special Thanks to Jay Nordstrom for handling the driving duties at the drags. My R/T would have been a respectible 5 seconds.

We'll the first engine was a 302 that exploded when a poly-loc backed off and the rocker came lose. Now, it's got a 347 Stroker. Scat 9000 crank, Scat Rods, Forged Pistons, and it's balanced. Performer RPM 2.02" heads that are ported and the bowls are blended. It uses a Trick Flow hyd. roller cam. Stage III, the hot one. Air gap intake w/matched ports and a 670 Street Avenger. Tremec 3550, 3.91 gears, and stock tires/wheels. T/A Radials.

She put down 339 HP to the wheels when built. I haven't re-dyno'd it since it's broken in.

Boudy - was that rocker event at NPR last gyear ?

And if one was say "I'd like an engine just like it in my BDR" the reaction would be?

Yep, that was the engine turned boat anchor in LA last summer.
