That's a stout piece, Garry. Good job! I'm glad you changed that 7200 to 7700...I was wondering about that. I'll send ya an email. Glad I could give ya a little insentive.
I talk to Ken 3 or 4 times a day. I'll pass it on.

Sometimes that is what it takes. Your motor is exactly the reason we went after this 468 build. It is for a car and that was the RPM goal we were after. Hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year.
Ran the motor today. Car and driver 2395#, went mid 8.50's at 155 mph at 4000' density altitude. That's a BBC style headed 468 with 1 carb on gas, no spray.
Hey Garry. When you say Gas is that pump gas or race fuel . ???
It was race fuel. Just meant that it wasn't alky.
Got more accurate numbers today, ran 8.72 @ 155.00 MPH and DA was 4300'. They were at Pennwell Raceway west of Odessa. We were at Red Line Raceway northeast of Dallas with my car. Don't want to talk about E.T.'s since the driver suffered from brain farts all day, but on the last pass, I let it roll through when the green came on, which killed the E.T., then hammerd it from an idle. It spun the tires and got a little sideways off the line, then I shut it down at the MPH light and went 147.54 MPH, that's an 1/8th mile track. I'll post a couple of pictures tomorrow. Feel like it would have been in the 155 to 160 range if I had done right, 4.50 to 4.60 E.T. We ran 4.54 @ 154 in our Top Sportsman car, 632 Pontiac with juice and injected alky, as a comparison.
I think we will head back up to Red Line this weekend. Need to detune it a little so I can get it off the line. Hasn't got a ton of tune-up in it now. They are paying a little money for fast door car, dragster, and motorcycle. If I can get it down the track, should be able to bring home a little of their money.

Hey Ron............. Talked to JJ yesterday afternoon. He's bringing a pan this afternoon.
